I was born and raised in Alaska, splitting my time between two very different worlds: the coastal community of Seward with my mom, and the backwoods outside of Talkeetna with my dad—25 miles out, only accessible by snowmachine. That rugged upbringing shaped who I am today. My parents showed me the value of hard work, creativity, and adventure. My dad, especially, fueled my love for the backcountry and my drive to live life full throttle. I miss him deeply, but his inspiration is with me every ride.
I started riding when I was just three years old, tearing around on my first sled wide open—scaring my mom while making my dad proud. For us, sleds weren’t just toys. They were a way of life: hauling firewood, hauling water, checking traplines, and navigating the wilderness. By middle school, I had my first mountain sled, and that’s when the passion really took over.
Through my teens and early twenties, I rode simply for the love of it. But in my mid-twenties, something shifted—I began to believe in myself on a whole new level. That’s when I decided to build something bigger than just a hobby: a brand that reflected every piece of who I am. An artist. A free spirit. A creative soul. And a backcountry athlete.
Today, I run my own business, partnering with some of the best print companies in the industry to bring my designs to life, while also working at Sunshine Community Health Center—a role I’ve proudly held for 11 years and counting. My work there has grounded me in the value of community health and wellness, and taught me the importance of making meaningful connections and supporting one another through our skills and goals.
On the snow, my ride of choice is a Polaris Matryx Slash Boosted 850 with a 155 tunnel, and I love every whizz and purr of the turbo. It’s fully wrapped in my own artwork, printed by ArcticFX Graphics, and tuned to my style with a GGB mountain can and Cheetah Bars. Each season, I look forward to making it even more my own with the specialty touches of the brands I trust.
My riding has grown from backcountry shredding into a pursuit of constant progression, with racing now on the horizon. I’m honored to represent amazing brands as an ambassador and to use my platform to connect with others who share the same passion for snow, mountains, and community.
At my core, my mission is simple: to live life exactly how I want to—chasing dreams, staying healthy, inspiring others, making connections, and doing it all The Sierra Winter Way.
