General Interest

TEAMING UP WITH MADISON CHOCK
They teamed up in July 2011. "Madi and I found each other 10 months after my surgery. Then came the struggle of learning to skate with someone new. We had many differences at first that caused us to struggle." (teamusa.org)

COUPLE OFF THE ICE
He and Chock started dating a while after teaming up on the ice. They were not physically a great match and they had a big difference in height. "I think that the reason why we chose each other was because we liked each other. We really had a great chemistry. We just had a blast on the ice together during our tryout. I feel like that is sort of the foundation of our partnership now, even more so, that we are a couple. I think that the relationship is just the strongest part of our partnership." (isu.org)

FORMER PARTNER
Formerly skated with Emily Samuelson (2000-10), and with her won the 2008 World junior title and competed at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games (11th).
