Around the age of 4 yrs old I started skiing, mostly on family vacations at the time. Skiing became my love and all I wanted to do was play in the snow and mountains. I ski raced through Jr. High and moved to Tahoe right after high school. From there I started competing in Big Mountain comps, taking 1st at the US National Freeskiing Championships and 3rd at the World Championships in Alaska.

These days I’m focused less on competition and more on shooting with photographers and filming. I have starred in the last 5 Warren Miller Films and have been published in all of the major ski magazines.
