My favorite place to visit in Minnesota is the North Shore.

My favorite post-workout snack is chocolate milk and a banana.

My favorite workout is steep uphill bounding.

What keeps me motivated is all my teammates I get to train with.

A tip for improving as a skier is to just have fun with it.

I make the community better by positive energy and good times.
