2010
Grew up in the small town of Vernon, British Columbia. Downhill skied from age seven to nine when his parents could afford to get him lift tickets. "My dad actually started ski patrolling so he could get a family ski pass because we were living on a single income from my dad alone. I started snowboarding when I was nine, due to the fact that it was the more cool thing to do." (cbc.ca, 3 Dec 2019)
Since he was 12 he did local slopestyle, halfpipe, and boarder x events that would start at the top of the halfpipe and finish at the bottom of the park at his home hill of Silver Star Mountain Resort. "I had no idea that snowboard cross was a real event till around 2006 when I caught a little of the Olympics [Torino 2006] replays on Youtube." (cbc.ca, 3 Dec 2019)
"I was driven to be a Canadian Olympian and I knew I'd do whatever it would take to get to that stage. Follow your dreams, don't let money or anything stand in your way, if you want it bad enough, you can get people around you to help you out." (cbc.ca, 3 Dec 2019)
He is vegan, eats healthy, plant-based, not only during the competitive season but all throughout the year. Strength training at the gym six days a week. "I've always loved keeping my body in shape even outside of sport. The psychology part of it has been strong for me, keeping a good mental game and knowing what I need to focus on the get to the podium." (cbc.ca, 3 Dec 2019)

"Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. Sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can." (Walter D. Wintle) (Info 2018)
