Growing up in Whistler I always knew that I wanted to be a professional athlete, it was simply a matter of picking the sport I loved the most and dedicating myself to it. I was a late bloomer when it comes to ski racers deciding they wanted to be olympians, but that hasn't held me back from chasing my dream and working my way onto the World Cup circuit. I have my fair share of haters but I'm very happy to say that the good friends and memories far outweigh the negatives in my career and I hope to keep that trend going for the next several years.
