Birthdate:June 27’Th 1977 Residence:Reno NV Current Sled(s):’08 SkiDoo 800 XP Summit X 146 Favorite riding area?Sonora Pass, Castle Peak, Black Buttes, anywhere with Sugi, Young America, ASI, Heath’s, and the oh so secret NF American Headwaters Stash… If you didn’t sled what would you do?Sponsor a sledder… When you’re not on your sled what do you do?When I’m not sledding, I spend days dreaming about the snowmelt. As a whitewater paddler, falling water fills my mind and fuels my endless pursuit. Truth be told, kayaking is actually my favorite sport (shhhh…). I twist a little throttle to keep my sanity in the dry months, luv me some pedal biking, and I never miss a chance to get up in the sky (paragliding, fixed wing flying, or rotorcraft) and taste the clouds a bit… What’s your biggest wreck?I’m going to have to go with a ski accident I had in the winter of 1999. While skiing BC in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, I exploded my face on impact with my knee during a landing. I broke my nugget in 9 places and shattered 17 teeth… Broken chin, three breaks in my jaw, exploded TMJ, severed auditory canal, broken orbital, etc. Sounds rough, but nothing like a good kick in the jaw to empower a superpositive attitude, and an endless stoke to always find the zest of life! Did you meet your goals for this season? What are your goals for next season?I got my fair share of overhead pow turns, sent the lines I committed to early on, and tasted every ounce of last year’s goals but one… And that my dawgs is this year’s biggest goal! With footage on the mind, setting up shots, seeing everyone progress, step to their lines, and capture the lives of the incredibly motivated talent on our coast and beyond is top priority this year… |
What keeps you stoked?The movement… Every facet of our world is another turn in the road of stoke. Rumored feet of pow, premier parties, road trips you know your sled won’t What pisses you off?Haters… I can’t stand the undue prejudice that we snow loving mobilers command on a daily basis.
