What got you into riding a snowboard?My brother was the pioneer for the family, after he started it made me have to try it.

If you could pick any song in the world to use in a video part what would it be?The song that I would pick would be from Fiest, I feel it all.  

 

When you aren’t shredding what are you up to?When I am not riding I am hanging out with my family, especially my brother.  On weekends, all the friends get together on our boat and engage in water sports and enjoy the outdoors.  I also go visit my friends in Boston or go to the beach to surf. I am a very active person and am constantly on the go.

What do you plan on doing once your snowboarding career ends?When I am done riding I would like to be able to stay involved in the sport, so I was thinking of being a sports announcer, physical therapist or a coach.

Tell us about the charity you started to sell your knitted hats?This summer I started a charity to help raise awareness about the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).  I am knitting hats throughout the whole summer.  My goal is to sell them in the fall and give 100% of the proceeds to the ASPCA.

Where are your favorite places to surf?My favorite place to surf is in Costa Rica, I have been to a couple of different spots down there and had a blast at every destination.  My next favorite place is Southern California, I have only been there a couple of timea but the waves and weather are very agreeable.  

After already having one Olympics under your belt how are you preparing for Vancouver?I am just taking one month at a time with this Olympic year.  Staying strong and healthy is my main focus.
