One of the reasons that I am so grateful to the CPA is for the friends and family I have within the organization. I began competing in the CPA (previously the OPA) when I was in my early 20s. Since then, the athletes, judges, promoters, and members of the board have become like a second family to me. It is why I started my own show - to share that same passion for the sport with other athletes. Make sure to always support each other as we are all on a unique journey in this sport!
