Born in Colorado. Grew up in Kansas. Have been skiing on the same lake my entire life. Everything I do revolves around skiing. Even started my own business (Shortline Road Service) so that I would have a flexible schedule. Works as a heavy diesel mechanic. The rest of my family lives in TX on ski lakes. They allow me.to ski all winter down there with them. Biggest ski accomplishment is winning Western region Men's 2 slalom title last year.
