Something people may not know about you: Most people don’t know I am an artist on the side.
When you’re not busy skiing, where can we find you?: Usually you can find me in Park City, Utah but I’m addicted to being outdoors and training so good luck finding me at home.
What’s one of your wildest goals in life? My wildest goal was to compete in the Olympics. Now that has been completed, my wild goal is to win an Olympic Medal and win the World Cup Gran Prix.
How do you enjoy the moment?: I enjoy the moment by choosing to. The mindset of enjoying the moment when working hard for something you love is key to success.
Do you have an original crew? What do you all have in common?: My Butte Central guys from the class of ‘11! Although we’ve gone our different ways, we still have gone through a lot together.
