I was raised by ski patrollers in a brutally normal town that inspired a TV show called South Park. A childhood far from the streets of San Francisco, where I studied Art Direction from the minds behind Got Milk? When I wasn’t buried in homework or collecting parking tickets, I was working at production companies around the Bay Area building pitch decks, or slating on film sets.
Before that I spent summers working construction to fund an expensive sport called freeskiing, the kind with baggy clothes, handrails, and more knee surgeries than medals. That sport took me across the world for over a decade: X Games, two World Championships, forty World Cup starts, and a world record. I didn’t make it to the Olympics, but I was part of a small athlete committee that made a lot of noise petitioning for the sport’s induction in 2014.
Somewhere along the way, I started writing on the side for Freeskier Magazine and turning my sponsors into clients. Between film, design, and writing, it felt like the most respectful way to pay it forward, short of donating my knees.
Long before broken bones and Olympic debates, I wanted to be an artist, a filmmaker, a creative, and, most importantly, a good person.
