Being a kid from Massachusetts, I never imagined I could make a life out of skiing; I was a USA hockey selects player destined to play in the NHL, some things changed, direction diverted. I started traveling, seeing the world 36 countries in total, 24 countries in 24 months when I lived in Munich when I was 7-9 years old in a VW van. Learning how to ski in Austria, Italy, Germany and Switzerland, gave me a good idea of early mornings, and Gluvine. I am very grateful for my opportunities in life, traveling, working, skiing, and pursuing my dreams.
Being on the ground floor of the POV revolution, I started creating mounts for GoPro and creating angles that were original and new. 2009 landed me 2nd place in TGR “POV contest of the year” judged by Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, the POV guru himself. From being a river guide in Maine and Baffin Island, to a water-ski instructor in Greece for a summer, I have been searching for my destiny to be a professional skier my whole life. My life in the mountains is sublime, hard work, creativity, and a positive attitude has led to my goals being attained. Never give up on your dreams they are what make life tolerable!
You can find me ripping lines at my home mountain Mt. Baker, and floating around B.C. slaying pow and smiling! Life is good.
