when I was 2 and racing when I was 10. I grew up playing just about every sport in some capacity. But skiing was always the sport of choice. I made the US Ski Team when I was 18, then went on to winning an Olympic Gold Medal in Torino then the World Cup GS Globe. After winning the Olympics I started SHRED Optics with Carlo Salmini, to make a product that wasn’t “racer” and was outside of most peoples idea of what a goggle should look like. When I’m not racing, I try to get in as much powder skiing as possible and try to perfect the world’s ugliest misty 7. Otherwise in the summer I love to waterski, Mountain bike, play tennis and just about any other sport.
