James Kaull
After a hard fought season, James qualified for his first US national team and will compete in the 2019 World Championships.
We asked James what drives him and he said: "My curiosity for improvement motivates me to continually strive for personal growth. There's still a tremendous amount to learn about the sport, competition, and myself. The sport of fencing has shown me how to transfer that pursuit to the parts of my life that don't involve a sword. I'm working towards the big Olympic stage and enjoying each and every hurdle in between." James's mindset has brought him success on and off the strip. We're proud to support such a uniquely passionate and driven athlete
