Having grown up in Lebanon, New Hampshire I was fortunate to have a 25 and 50 meter ski jump to start my jumping career as a 10 year old.  With the tremendous support of my family and Lebanon Outing Club coaches I was able to excel as a young jumper and earn the opportunity to attend the National Sports Academy in Lake Placid, NY. When I arrived for my sophomore year I began an intense training and jumping program with the goal of making the United States Ski Jumping team, win a national championship and ultimately medal at a World Championship or the Olympics. Thus far I am beginning to see the fruits of my labor. Currently, I am one of the top ski jumpers in the United States. With more time spent competing in international events, my coaches and I feel this experience will spur me to the next level and ultimately make me competitive on the World Cup circuit. My ultimate goal is to be one of the pioneers in United States mens ski jumping, to help the United States be a powerful ski jumping nation.
