Here are your CUKC executives for this year. They are a great bunch of people who are here to serve you, the members, and to help get you out onto the river. All are very approachable and are part of the executive due to their shared passion for the sport, as well as their commitment to help others share that passion. They hope to meet all of your expectations, and should you have any concerns do not hesitate to email any one of them with your questions.

I became part of CUKC because my passion lies with white water kayaking, and when I saw that Carleton had a kayak club I jumped on the boat as soon as possible (no pun intended). My goal is to help continually expand our club and welcome as many new members as possible. We are a fairly new club, and there are still many kinks to work out and improvements to be made. I am eager to involve new people with the sport and push the club to serve its members. This year my main goal has been to have more events outside of the pool sessions and increase the amount of gear owned by the club. This will allow us to take more paddlers to the river for as little cost as possible to the members.
As President I hope to bring a positive influence to the club. My goal is to make CUKC the most exciting club on campus because that is what white water kayaking is all about—‘the rush’!
In addition to handling financial disbursments, I am often found instructing and guiding down the river and introducing new paddlers to the sport that I love. During summertime you’ll often find me on the Gull river in Minden where I teach kayaking. I look forward to passing my passion on to you and seeing you on the river.
