What do you do:: I compete in halfpipe skiing. Currently I am on the World Cup circuit which has me traveling the world competing in places like New Zealand, U.S, and China. I ski for the Canadian Next Gen Pipe team and this will be my fifth season with the team. Outside of skiing I like to golf, dirtbike and work the occasional shift at the fine establishment titled Mountain Cultures.

Favorite Tricks:: Cork 9 Stale, Switch 7 Blunt

Favorite Mountain:: COP, Cardrona

Who do you session with the most:: Friends and teammates on the Canadian Team

Plans for the season:: This season I plan to do the full World Cups circuit and hopefully some higher level contests like Dew Tour and X Games. My main goal is to lock down a solid run that I can consistently land and will also have a level of difficulty that will land me in the finals and give me a shot at the podium. Other goals are to push myself to learn as many new tricks as possible and become more consistent with the tricks I have now, especially the ones in my competition runs.
