As a professional snow sport athlete my love for skiing has always been front and center. In the background my passion for the bike has been nearly as magnetic for as long as I can remember. The satisfaction from a long climb, the exhilaration of flashing through the forest with friends, catching air along the way. The artistic flow I find on the bike and snow is also paired with an interest in film-making and sharing my experiences through movies and shorts.
