Raised in the Lone Star State, Noah began sailing Optis at the age of 8 on the windswept coast of South Texas on the waters of Galveston Bay. Noah discovered his passion for sailing immediately and quickly outgrew Optis, progressing to Laser sailing. He sailed Lasers for several years, also competing in the I420 class. Noah decided to take up kiteboarding just for fun, and he was instantly hooked. Shortly thereafter, he made the commitment to transition from Laser sailing to kiteboard racing. In 2020, Noah decided to switch to an online university to pursue a full-time Olympic campaign in Formula Kite for Paris 2024. He is currently in school online through Texas A&M University studying Aviation Management in hopes of becoming a commercial pilot. When Noah isn’t training he finds enjoyment in playing the banjo.
