Regina was born in the summer of ’84, in Duluth, Georgia. She relocated to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida when still very young. With that, it is no wonder that she was immediately drawn to the sea. At the tender age of five, she began competing—and winning—on the water.

Not long after graduating from high school, at Freeport Senior High in 2002, Regina started winning medals, first at the Pan American Games in 2003, and most recently capturing the championship at the 2015 Masters Waterski Tournament. Check out a detailed list of her myriad achievements below—there are simply too many to list here, at 85 and counting!

Her accomplishments do go beyond gold medals, however; she is also a world-record holder: In 2016, Regina’s record run as part of the Malibu Boats team was approved by the International Waterski and Wakeboard Tournament Council.

Yet, beyond the medals and records is Regina Jaquess the person: She holds a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree from the University of Louisiana at Monroe. She owns and operates Emerald Coast Compounding Pharmacy. She has received post-graduate training in her passion—pharmaceutical compounding. But, she also loves basketball, NASCAR, surfing, and swimming.
