What attracted you towards snowboarding as a sport, if you were to sum up in a few words?

When I was 11 I followed my older brother when he tried snowboarding for the first time. gym and then watch the confidence they build radiate through the other areas of their life. Helping people become the best versions of them, helping them become more confident and positive in the process, that’s what I live for. It’s the most fulfilling and rewarding job!

Our minds were blown. We viewed the mountain differently; the creative outlet the snowboard under out feel gave us. All of a sudden we were seeing the same mountain as a playground. Snowboarding still is a creative outlet and a source of freedom and adventure for us.
