I am 19 and just began snowboard racing 3 seasons ago. Though I’ve snowboarded since I was a little kid, I have progressed quickly each season on the racing aspect; earning 2nd place my junior and senior year at the CNISSF High-school State Championships and the following season earning a gold in Slalom for the 18-22 men at USASA National Championships. I work full time to support my racing and am currently traveling 3.5 hours to train on the weekends.
Motivation
Making my mom proud, she has supported me in my racing since I ran my first course. Watching my hard work pay off and the feeling that runs parallel with it. All the gathering support from my friends and family, even if I don’t have the best outcome in a race they will always be there to back me up and to pick me up.
Goals
My long-term goal would be to compete on the FIS World Cup tour, short term is to keep working hard towards finishing in the top 15 on the North American/ Race to the Cup tour. Though it is my first season competing on this circuit, I will always strive to do better than the previous race.
Other Interests
I love to be outdoors, anywhere from jet skiing on the lake or hiking with friends. We have stellar mountain biking trails back home that are a blast to spend the day on. Little things spark my interest!
