It’s with a lot of gratitude and so many great memories that I

After a lot of reflection — and with a heart full of gratitude — I’m excited (and a little emotional) to share this update.

Scull & Oars has been such a meaningful part of my life. Over the years it’s given me the opportunity to meet incredible people, spend countless days on the water, and help others experience the beauty and peace that paddling brings. I’ve poured so much of myself into building this business, and it has rewarded me with unforgettable memories, friendships, and lessons I’ll carry forever.

But now it’s time for a new chapter. I’m ready to explore something different and take on new adventures, which means Scull & Oars — the business and all of its equipment — is officially for sale.

If you’ve ever dreamed of running your own paddling and outdoor business, or you’re just curious to learn more, I’d love to talk. Please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and this journey — whether you were a customer, a friend, a paddling partner, or someone cheering me on from shore. You’ve all been a part of what made Scull & Oars so special.
"Enjoy life, let's go paddling"
