I am a 17-year-old from Brockville, Ontario, an honour roll student at Ange Gabriel Academy and I run my own window washing business called Magic Window Cleaning.
I've been skiing with the Ontario Freestyle Team for three years and competing since I was eleven. As a competitive skier on Team Ontario my ambition is to make Team Canada by the 2026 Olympics.
I was one of three athletes selected to represent Ontario at the Canada Winter Games in PEI in February 2023. In August 2023 I was one of six athletes selected to represent Canada at the Junior World Freestyle Championships in New Zealand. I have competed in two North American level competitions this winter and have one more scheduled. I was just notified that I qualified for this years Junior World Freestyle Championships in Livigno/Mottolino Italy at the end of March. Lastly, I have been invited to this year’s Senior Nationals in Whistler, BC. After the competitions so far this year I am ranked 9th within the men in Canada competing at the North American level and 5th for those under 19.
As you can imagine, competing at my level requires hundreds of hours of training and thousands of dollars for ski gear, coaching, lift tickets, travel, accommodations, food and more. The provincial and federal government provide minimal financial support to freestyle ski athletes making it an expensive endeavour for my family and me to manage the high costs required to compete. As I come to the end of this season and plan for what will happen in my skiing career next year your ongoing donations would allow me to make Canada proud and help me fulfill my dreams.
