General Interest

PARTNERSHIP WITH KNIERIM
He teamed up with Alexa Knierim in spring 2020, reaching out to her first. "But I had to figure out if I wanted to keep going first because after Haven [Denney] and I were done, there was about two weeks I had almost both feet on the side of just getting ready to start a whole new chapter outside of the world of competitive ice. But after I sat there, there was a thought to myself like 'you know what if Alexa is available and she would want to try out, and she's open to it', that would be my last chance to make a run at competitive ice skating. (...) It was a very emotional and hard time in my life." (Athlete, Jan 2021, Pirouette Magazine, Feb 2021)

FROM ROLLER TO ICE SKATING
First teamed with Haven Denny in pairs as roller skaters in 2002, and spent much of their childhood competing as a pair, before switching to the ice in 2004. (sun-sentinel.com, 25 Mar 2013)
