Short Bio:

I started skiing aged 8 at my local dry ski slope in Alford. I went straight from snowplough into my local race club, Gordon Skiers, and never looked back. Now based in Zell Am See for the majority of the winter season, travelling to other European countries to compete. This year I hope to drop my world ranking to below 100 and continue to improve as an athlete.
