• Snowmobile Brand: Polaris
• Major Accolades/Accomplishments: I’m extremely proud of all the riders I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years both instructional riding and avalanche safety courses through our business, Mountain Skillz! Polaris athlete since 2013, Boondockers 6 movie cover! SnoWest Photo Annual February 2024, and I’ve ridden snowmobiles all 12 months of the year. Not consecutive, but over the years have been able to ride all 12 months.
• Fav Sled: 2024 Polaris PRO RMK 9R 155 x 3.25 w/IceAge Elevate spindles & rails, VOHK setup, Pro Armor Bumpers, DuraPro tether & ski dampeners, and other goods from Skinz
• Fav Riding Area: This is impossible! I’ve been fortunate to ride many different area and appreciate them all for what makes them unique. That said I’d really like to go back to BC. Never ridden there early-mid winter and would love to. Low elevation, deeeep snow, and wild terrain makes it very appealing!
• Fav KLIM Gear: Another impossible question... Seriously can’t just go with one item. So here’s my current top 2. Ripsa Vapor one-piece is my all/time favorite outerwear because it’s very light/comfort (feels like pajamas) has excellent functional venting, and is pretty durable. The F3 Carbon Helmet is a go-to item year around that is incredible for snowmobiling and dirt biking. It’s very light, comfortable, well vented, excellent protection, and looks great. Especially the Patriot edition from a few years back.
• Hobbies & Interests: My family is at the top of that list! Anything with them is true joy. I also love riding dirt bikes. Hard enduro is super fun (though I’m not really very good at it) and I appreciate the struggle and challenge. I’m also a sports fan.
• Unique thing people don't know about you:Oh man, here’s something silly…. I have a tattoo. That isn’t the silly part. Here’s the silly part, it’s a mountain lion. I got it when I was 18 because I wanted a Mountain Cat snowmobile. A few months later I bought that Mountain Cat 800 and was pretty proud of both. Yep, true story!
• Bucket List: Bucket list wish is to ride as many different locations as possible. Japan is currently at the top of that list. Goal is to give back as much as possible to others through snowmobiling in a way that honors God.
