I’m was born and raised in the remote mountain town of Strawberry, California. My ski journey began at Dodge Ridge, a small, family-owned resort where my dad coached me and my two brothers. My parents opened a coffee shop in 1998 to help fund our dreams, a business they still run today. Growing up in a blue-collar setting gave me a deep sense of work ethic, resilience, and pride in where I come from. That foundation continues to shape who I am, on and off the mountain. My Brand: Nicknamed “Big Country,” I bring a unique and recognizable image to a sport often defined by luxury. I represented the U.S. at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and currently compete full-time on the World Cup circuit with my eyes set on Milan 2026. My brand blends elite-level skiing with authentic Western roots. Recipient of U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s Team Athletes Giving Back Award for 2022
