I have been skiing all of my life, and plan to continue being a skier for the rest of it. My first time on skis I was 18 months old, and have loved it ever since. I started my racing career 10 years ago when I was a first year midget boy racing out of Lappe Nordic in Thunder Bay, ON. I raced the Ontario Junior circuit for 6 years, becoming unofficial Juvenile boys champion (2006-2007), and Junior Boy champion (2008-2009). I started my college career at the College of St. Scholastica in 2009, and intend to graduate in 2013 with a major in Exercise Physiology, and a minor in Marketing.
When I was growing up it was always a dream of mine to compete in the Olympics. I now realize that I probably will never get to that point, but I hope to eventually be able to help other skiers achieve the dream that I always had. I am really looking forward to helping out with Alberta World Cup Academy this summer. I hope to be to share some of the knowledge that I have gained over the past couple years at St. Scholastica, while continuing to gain valuable experience for the rest of my life.
