I am an independent athlete competing to qualify in this year’s Olympic Games. I graduated from the University of Denver with an undergrad degree in Finance and a Master’s Degree in Applied Quantitative Finance. Skiing independently from the US Ski Team, I finished 1st and 3rd at last year’s US National Championships which qualified me to ski on the World Cup circuit. In my 3rd career World Cup start, I finished 24th place from bib 65 to become the second American male to finish in the top 30 in Slalom in the last 3 years. This year, I will be competing independently on the World Cup circuit again, with the goal of qualifying for the Olympic Games.
