About Me

I grew up in Minooka and have been skiing for years. I also wakeboard on the side. Some other things I do are band, web page design, and video game design. I will be starting college in the fall at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and I will be studying Electrical and Computer Engineering.


About my skiing

I dont ski competitively yet but I'm hoping to get into at least 1 competition this summer. I now ski at the top speed for my division which is 36 mph. I currently have the rope set at 15' off but this summer I will be working on shortening that. I can also wakeboard, but I focus mostly on skiing. I can jump the wake but thats about it. Watch out for me rippin up the water this summer.


Accomplishments

2010: Hoping to compete this year. Once I get myself back in condition Im going for shortening the rope.

2009: I saw some awesome improvement in my skiing. I now ski 6 bouys at 36 mph at 15' off.

2008: I'm skiing the best I ever have. I'm skiing consistent 6 bouys at 34 mph at 15' off. I even pulled my best run ever of 3 bouys at 35 mph at 15' off. I hope to get to 36 mph soon so I can start shortening the rope and getting points for having the rope as short as I do.

2007: I am currently skiing at 34 mph at 15' off. I do not Ski competitively, but during practice, my best is 4 bouys at 34 mph at 15' off. The AWSA bouy count system marks that as 64 bouys.
