Short Bio: I grew up skiing in California, which is also where I was introduced to ski racing. From there my family and I moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I am now a post graduate athlete at the Sugar Bowl Academy in California. My plan for the next few years is to be on a Division 1 Alpine Team at an American University and then to ski at the 2018 Olympics in South Korea.
