I was born and raised in Wooler, Ontario. It was skiing and dreams of deep snow that brought me to Whistler, B.C., in 2001 and it has been my home ever since. A few years ago, I bought my first mountain snowmobile and was immediately hooked on the sport. I rarely ski anymore and spend as much time in the backcountry as possible. Taking photos and writing about the experience of being in the mountains on a sled is something I have become quite passionate about, and I hope to share the lifestyle and culture that we are a part of.
When not sledding, I can usually be found working on Joydigger, a freeride snowmobiling website I started, as well as mountain biking and taking photos of anything that catches my eye.
