I have been very fortunate to be a professional ski jumper for over 20 years, specifically Freestyle Aerial Skiing.
As a Colorado native, I grew up with excellent access to winter sports and outdoor activities. I saw the sport of aerial skiing for the first time at the 1988 Calgary Olympics on television. It was the ultimate sport in my eyes with a great combination of speed, height, acrobatics, and the amazing potential for spectacular crashes! I joined a local ski team (Winter Park, CO) at age 14 and pursued the sport throughout high school with no real expectations except having fun and keeping fit. The rest is history!
I still love it! Although retired from snow jumping and the U.S. Ski Team since 2001, I still jump in the summer (a plastic surfaced ski jumps next to a Olympic-sized pool) at the Utah Olympic Park (Park City, Utah). There I perform corporate/public ski shows with current/past ski team members Flying Ace Productions and interact/coach with upcoming athletes. "Water-Ramp Shows" are the highlight of my summer!
