Mission Statement:
I come to the mountains to live. My mission is to pursue my passion for adventure, creativity and love for the outdoors through Big Mountain Freeskiing. I hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.
About Me:
I was 4 years old when my dad first took me skiing at a small hill in New Jersey called Vernon Valley. I was dropped off in ski school early that morning and spent the day on the heels of an instructor as he pulled me around the mountain with his ski poles. I’ve been hooked ever since.
In January of 2008 I got my first taste for true, untracked, over head powder. I’ll never forget the storm cycle that hit Telluride, Colorado that week in January nor my first backcountry turns down E-Ticket in Bear Creek after a chance encounter in the Gold Hill lift line with Scott Kennett. I finally realized what it was like to “choke” on powder that day in the backcountry. This experience was life changing.
After graduating from college in 2009, I traded in my mogul skis for powder boards and moved to Alta, Utah. Since moving west I have devoted myself to studying snow so that I can safely pursue my passions. I’ve been filming, producing, shooting, competing and most importantly having fun ever since. Moving to the Wasatch opened up a field of limitless opportunities for me to pursue my passion for the big mountains and I have not looked back.
What’s up for 2013?
Skiing in Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado with stops throughout North America along the way! Competing on the Freeskiing World Tour, traveling abroad and creating fun and interesting short films.
