Media & Events
Grit & Grace is my story of rebuilding a fifty-foot schooner in Kauai—without any prior experience—and setting sail across the Pacific. Along the way, I faced storms, setbacks, and deep personal transformation.
Watch the trailer to glimpse this journey of faith, grit, and the grace that carried me through.
