Synchronized swimming

I competed in synchronized swimming from about age eight to sixteen, then switched to water polo and played D1. Now I'm back in the pool for the fun version: performance synchro, somewhere between Esther Williams and Las Vegas.

I've performed at private shows across Southern California, Las Vegas, and New York, and it's ended up on screen more than once.

Yacht sales

Yes, boats too. From 2021 to 2024 I worked alongside my dad, yacht broker Dan Cornwell, selling boats and helping clients buy them — everything from a 35' express to an 82' motor yacht.
