Biography:
Although I was born in Canada I was brought up in South Africa, England, and good old Ontario. I started skiing when I was 4 and started riding when I was 12. Since then I have worked my way up through the competitions in Canada in both halfpipe and snowboardcross. Over the last couple of years I managed to rip my shoulder to pieces so have since had surgery and am now concentrating on the SBX at the 2010 Olympics!
