Born and raised in the city of Toronto and I grew up on the small ski slopes about 2 hours north. I was not blessed to be in an environment with big mountains but I found a passion and love for ski racing on the slopes at Craigleith. I love to stay active and participate in any sporting event/competion. I am a true city boy but I love to explore the outdoors when I have the opportunity. Travelling the world to ski race has been and will continue to be the best experience of my life. I am so thankful for the places I am able to go and I am always in search of discovering and exploring new countries.
