His parents took him to a beginner's course and he enjoyed the sport as a hobby at first. He began taking sailing more seriously after winning his first national title at age 14. "They pushed me out on the water in an Optimist dinghy tied to a long line. Every day on the water is different. No matter how good you are, every day you sail you can teach yourself something new."
