I started my SeaWorld adventure in 1998, and have since held various positions in Operations, as well as two years in Marketing as the special event coordinator. I am the last remaining original Steel Eel team member that opened the ride in 1999, which makes my current position as rides manager that much more special. I love my job and even after all this time, I still love seeing the excited look on our guests’ faces as they embark on their first roller coaster ride. What started out as a summer job has since become an unbelievable journey that holds a very special place in my heart.

I hope to bring a “from the inside looking out” perspective to readers and give them a better sense of SeaWorld. I also hope to answer ride-related questions that people may have, share our dedication to safety and showcase the quality of our attractions.
