| I grew up in Missoula, Montana and the Bitteroot Valley. I lived on a ranch outside of Stevensville and roamed the cliffs on Kootenai Creek, chopped wood for the winters and did flips off the fences surrounding our property to test them after repairs. With five of my siblings I drove into Missoula for school everyday, 30 miles north. My older brothers Todd and Eric taught me to do flips with the "towels of death". Eric eventualy moved to New York to learn acrobatic skiing. The next summer My brother Danny and I went to New York to do the same. From age 15-24 I competed in and performed aerial skiing in Germany, Taiwan and throughout the U.S. and Canada. Eventually, I returned to an artistic persuasion, influenced by my oldest brother Todd and am now studying the functions of keyboards and computers, performing and colaborating with close friends and family. I'm currently earning an undergraduate degree in music composition. |
