    I started skiing at the age of 14 on the trash heaps in Michigan, where I grew up. I instantly loved skiing and everything about it. I really learned to ski after moving to Crested Butte for a season, when i was 23. Now, I'm 33 years old and have been in Aspen, Colorado for 8 years. I have been trying my skills in the competition circuit for 6 years now. It's really sick to ski against, but also with, the people that think the same way about skiing as I do. It's an excellent community/family to be a part of.

     The '08-'09 year was good! I went to 5 freeride comps and got out shooting with the camera. I've had numerous photos in the local newspapers as well as a full double-page photo in Powder Magazine and the same photo in Freeskier Magazine. Additionally, I was a profiled athlete in Aspen Peak Magazine, 2008, and a  featured athlete in The Aspen Times' "Aspen Ripper Factory", 2007, about the large group of skiers from Aspen who travel to freeride comps and wow the judges.

I've made tons of friends in the community, including photographers and industry insiders. I also received a "Sickbird" nomination, the award for the strongest, burliest run of the comp!

     I've also been rock climbing for 17 years now, and  have recently been putting up new routes. I do it all, from sport cragging, cracks, soloing aid routes in the desert, and freeing the big stone in the Black Canyon of CO. I also like taking the motor bike out for a moshing in the mtns.

     I really just love to ski. I ski the same way, whether i'm with six people or out ripping by myself. I would love the opportunity to test some quality products and proudly display them doing what I do best in photos, video, and print ads. This year my main goal is to work as much as possible with more great photographers on many assignments.

     Any day in the mountains is a good day , especially if you're in the " white room", where nothing else matters and time stands still! A huge thanks to any sponsors for your consideration and to all the great photographers I've worked with! I can't wait for the next pow day!!!
