My name is Cody I’m from a small beach town called Cardiff-By-The-Sea in north county of San Diego. My dad was the head lifeguard growing up, so I spent pretty much all of my time at the beach or in the water. I got my degree in Marine Biology and was a nationally ranked swimmer and professional bodyboarder. I love to surf, scuba dive, charity work, to travel, and to meet new people. My instagram handle is @codyvai
