Describe a highlight moment from your 2015 IFSA season.
A highlight was definitely winning Crested Butte and Taos back to back after my 3rd place podium in Japan. Crested Butte and Taos are two of my favorite mountains and to win both events was really special. I also can't forget about my 2nd place finish at Crystal Mountain which solidified my spot on the FWT for 2018, hearing them announce my name in second was one of the most relieving moments of my entire career!
Where can you be found when you are not freeriding?
Usually in the terrain park. But in the summer I like to hang right by the beach... boy!
What topic makes you fired up?
Climate Change
What would you like to see change in the world and how can you make it happen?
I would love to see less hate and more acceptance. I personally try to be a living example of this in my daily life.
