Freeriding:
 A trip to Greenland in 1992 was my first experience with sustained steeps, and 55mph powder turns. I have been addicted to riding "Extreme labeled" terrain and deep, dry powder ever since. Snowboard trips to foreign areas for documentary purposes have become a mainstay, and favorite part of, my career. 

Kiteboarding:
 I picked up Kiteboarding in 1998 while on a surf trip in Maui.  It has become my new summer sport passion and my home base in Hood River is the perfect place to kite.  Snowkiting is starting to take-off as an emerging sport here in North America.  When traveling for the TV show in the winter I always have my kites on hand incase the winds come up.

Windsurfing:
I have been standing on a sailboard since the age of nine, which came well before my snowboard debut. I grew up on the Kennebecasis River and never missed a windy day.   Kiteboarding has taken over as my  “Columbia River Gorge”  sport, however nothing tops a good day of wave sailing on the coast.  I still think that a sailboard out performs just about anything in down the line surf conditions.

Surfing:
I started surfing in 1990 while in Maui for a sailboard trip. I was immediately hooked and began surfing at breaks close to Hood River on the Oregon coast. Surfing is the most challenging sport I've ever picked up. Although I do not get out as much as I would like, I prefer a good day of surfing to just about anything.

Mountain Biking:
Mountain Biking has evolved tremendously over the past decade.  In the early 90’s I wore lots of licra and it was all about climbing.  I dabbled with some competition, most notable being the 24 hours of Moab in 1997 and 1998.  Spending time in Nelson BC this summer really opened my eyes to what a person can do on a bike.  I now wear armor and a full face helmet and ride a 43 lbs Kona full suspension.  It is as much as compliment to my snowboarding as kiting or surfing.
