I was born and raised in the Great State of Alaska. It is truly God's country and dubbed the last frontier for its vast mountain ranges and amazing terrain. I have been riding snowmobiles for nearly 20 years and have been a professional for 10 of those. I pride myself on being a leader in the industry and among my peers. I am the consummate professional and bring a positive and fun aspect to not only my riding but to any event that I am involved in. I pride myself on being a positive role model and increasing my fan base with my outgoing and wholesome personality. I love the fans. Without them we have no sport….

Snowmobiling is my obvious first choice for activity but I also enjoy dirtbiking, car racing and one of my favorite unwinding activities, fly fishing. Living in Alaska, there is no better place on earth to do most of these things. I very much enjoy being a part of the motor sports industry and hope to continue long past my riding days.
