State of Residence: British Columbia
Date of Birth: October 25, 1969
Years riding: Seven.
Interests: I try to stay happy, healthy and exercise, doing things I like: mountain biking, hiking, hockey, surfing, rock climbing, and chasing bears.
Sponsors: Burton Snowboards, Arnet.

Style of riding:
Nothing beats a steep powder run. You can vary your riding style with the weather. From carving on the groomed runs, to jumping off the little skier-made formations, and also wiggling in the powder when it dumps. I like racing, halfpipe, and boardercross (although I'm waiting for someone to get decapitated).

What was your first day of riding like and who was there:
I started snowboarding five years ago while I was still ski racing. A friend pushed me into trying it. I was very reluctant at first, like most skiers, but once I started, I couldn't stop. I remember making one fast, perfect carve that turned into a series of cartwheels.

What other sports/athletes do you admire/respect:
One day while bodyboarding, I caught a wave too big for me, and then tumbled onto dry reef. I got scraped and cut, and then had to deal with more waves crashing on my head. I thought that I might drown. The next time I watched surfers I had a whole new respect for them.
