Biography
I thrived in the the Lake Effect snow belt of Western New York. The crisp weather
shaped me.
Charging everything under chairlifts was my jam. In the west, the big stone cut and
shaped me to fit. The landscape inspired my daily summits. How do I ski lines in the
backcountry like I lap the ski resort and rock walls? The mountains transformed me
again. They taught me that mentality and motivation exceeds equipment and
preconceived limits. Less is more and efficient climbing leads to charging effortless
descents. The mountains stripped me of extra baggage and compelled me to simply
move. Now they let me in deep. We have the freedom to find and fly down the best
snow from the many summits. We move, through mountains, as far and as often as we
can dream.
Broke my feet. Cant go as far though Ill keep training to see what I can do. Quality over quantity is the name of the game going forward. Striving to balance recovery with being and moving outdoors still Skiing, Flying and a return to a long ago emphasis on mountain biking!
I was born into a snowy landscape.
