I am from Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, and I am a ski racer. I grew up in a small town of about 3,000 people, which is like Lake Placid. Throughout my childhood, I loved playing sports and being outside. I played soccer, football, baseball, and basketball and am currently ski racing. A huge hobby of mine is fishing. I love to fish.
Before I came here, I attended a public school which was much different than Northwood. I found out about Northwood through friends who also came here to ski. This is my second year at Northwood, and I could not have asked for anything more. I’ve enjoyed every aspect of living here in Lake Placid and being part of this community.
Spending time with the ski team is something I enjoy more every day. After Northwood, my main goal is to ski in college at the highest level I can and major in aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineering is something I have been interested in for quite some time. I have grown fond of it and find it intriguing. I hope to pursue this passion in college and see where the dual passions of skiing and aerospace engineering can take me.
