"I'm blown away by the season I was able to put together," he said. "I'm looking forward to trying to do it all again next year."
He received 5 first place votes out of a possible 6. Sergio Rojas of the Salt River Rafters finished second in voting with 1 first place vote, while Julien Ortega of the Salt River Rafters finished third.
