Age: 40 | Sport: Snowboarding
Hometown: Fort McMurray, AB | Current Town: Kamloops, BC
Sponsors/Shout-outs: The Truth Skate & Snow, Mara Clothing
Why I Love Sun Peaks: Coming from way up north I dreamt of having access to a chill mountain resort not far from where I live, and now look; I've got Canada's 2nd largest ski resort 45 minutes from my house, and when you know where to look, there are powder stashes that will last for days after a good dump. Not to mention a grooming program that is second to none, and a dope top-to-Bottoms park to back it all up! And I'm the lucky guy who gets chosen to be an ambassador for the place I love. Sounds like a dream come true to me!
