I am so stoked about the opportunity I had to crew for the US pilots at the 2026 JWGC in Aalen. I had so much fun, learned a lot, and met some truly incredible people. so proud of how our pilots flew :)

big shoutout to @patrickcernuto for lending me an extra bed

Pat and I valiantly attempted the infamous Dutch drinking game. I did not do very well, but Pat held the world record for a whole 3 hours!

Standard Class Nationals was tuff. We were lucky enough to get 9 days of flying with a pretty large variety of soaring conditions ranging from 19k’ cloud base to low and blue. Shoutout Michael for bringing the 10 knot climbs from Caesar Creek to New Mexico for the contest.

Sports Class Nationals in Houston was another killer contest experience! Raced with lots of new and old friends in some great weather.

Things are starting to come together and am proud of the way I flew. Learned a bunch as usual and theres lots more room to grow! 5th overall ain’t bad 🤠 Huge thanks to Mike for loaning me UN !
