Goals, Attitude, and Motivation:
One goal of mine is to improve my standing both nationally and world wide. Another is learning to speak Norwegian. I also strive to take my physical training to greater levels. My telemark teammates motivate me in the winter and the hotshot crew motivates me in the summer. I plan to become a smokejumper and build my own house someday.
Why do you Telemark Race?
To meet new people and travel the world.
Interesting Facts:
My best friend and I are building a house on 10 beautiful acres of land and working to start a vineyard. We own 2 dogs, 1 manx and miniture horse. I'm training for the rookie smokejumpr class of 2007, with Missoula Smokejumpers, after an inkury in the rookie class of 2006.
