ATSX Training
I need to compete in the Red Bull Race. I will.
Ever since I could walk, I could skate. I played hockey my whole life. And when I played Juniors at the age of 20, the sport fell in a shadow. From my emotions and motivation, I didn't want to put down the work I put my body, money, and energy through to get to where I am today. I've always loved competition, and it has to be in a pair of skates. Here I am, ready to race in Red Bull's Downhill Cross-Ice. I'm ready.
HOCKEY
Road to Junior Hockey.
I was out of shape after graduating an accelerated DREAM school I attended down in Florida, Full Sail University. While the location didn't suit me well (as well as no vehicle), the Covid Pandemic brought me home earlier than expected.
​
That's when I applied to work as a hockey coach.
​
And at that hockey facility, I got back on my feet and decided it's time to step back on the ice and play hockey.
​
Well, long story short, I spent TWO YEARS working toward a team. I had 15 teams ask me to play for them, but I went with one that was closest to home . . .
​
Unfortunately, no one cared about my playing abilities on the team. So, here I am, ready to skate the living heck out of the ice in ATSX.
​
I'm excited for the independency.


Although these clips aren't recent and don't show me at full speed on open ice, I wanted to post them to show my motivation and effort towards skating. I wouldn't be where I am today without my two years of recovery and hard-sweat work. It was painful at first, but I keep working for my goal until I have fulfilled it.
​
My rollerblades will be here soon. Stay up to date to watch my speed on the wheels.
