Has been skiing at Mammoth Mountain in California, since he was two. His dad would take him and his little brother there from Los Angeles every Friday after school and back down Sunday night all winter long. Eventually, they moved up to Mammoth. (snowbrains.com)
Got into ski cross because he saw it on television, and thought: ‘’Why am I not doing this, this looks like amazing to me?" (FIS YouTube Channel, Feb 2021)
Would love an Olympic medal but he would be as happy with just skiing his best. (Athlete, Jan 2022)
Winning the 2015 Junior World Championships. "And at any event, I prove myself against the larger, well-funded and supported teams." (Athlete, Jan 2022)
Freestyle skier John Teller (USA), 2014 Olympian, 2011 X Games ski cross champion, 2013 World Championships bronze medallist. "For convincing me to try ski cross and being a great teammate and mentor leading up to the 2014 Olympic Games before he retired."
Alpine/freestyle skier Daron Rahlves (USA), four-time Olympian (1998, 2002, 2006 in alpine, 2010 in freestyle), 2001 World champion.
They were his heroes growing up, always taking the time to pass on advice and knowledge. (Athlete, Jan 2022)
His parents. "Worked incredibly hard to give me an opportunity to pursue skiing, moving to Mammoth with me so I could train more, and all the lessons I've learned from them." (Athlete, Jan 2022)
Used to be nervous about skiing or doing anything really active and dangerous on Thanksgiving Day because that's when he broke his femur. (Athlete, Jan 2022)
Usually puts a motto or inspirational phrase on his race suit. When he was a younger athlete he had "A baby shark is still a shark" to remind himself although he was young and competing against older more experienced guys he had every right to be there.
For years, he had 'Rome wasn't built in a day' and 'Elvis wasn't born a king' to remind himself to trust the process.
Now he has 'Burn the ships' which is taken from a story his cousin told him about leadership and not turning back and never surrendering. (Athlete, Jan 2022)
