Born and raised in the underrated and overly expensive locale known as Sun Valley, ID, it's safe to say I've grown up in an incredibly special place. My parents put me on the misery sticks (Nordic skis) at age 2, but I also dabbled in soccer, baseball, tennis, xc running, and hockey. It appears I chose the wrong sport, because not only do all of those other sports pay more, but damn, they are also way cooler, except maybe baseball. Over the last four years I've been a member of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF) Gold Team, an Olympic development Nordic team based out of my hometown. I've been on US National podiums, raced World Cups for the US Ski Team and continue to achieve better and better results each year. Finally, I will be a guide for Jake Adicoff, the top visually impaired cross country skier in the world at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Paralympic games in March.
