Now that EMPIRE is a couple months old, what are you thoughts of starting up your own company? I guess now that I am starting my own company it takes some pressure off skiing and now I have something else to do. It creates a little more stress in other areas but keeps me occupied and at the same time I have to stay on top of my game because there are obviously going to be haters out there and I need to show people out there that I have a business sense as well as a ski career.

What do you think of Peter Olenick as a rider? I’ve known peter since we got in the game at around 14 years old. He’s some one I can relate to and he is extremely innovative.

Who’s your favorite athlete outside of skiing? Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan

Who has the biggest influence on your skiing career? All my friends, who ever I ski with. I can learn something new from anyone, I can turn a negative in to a positive.

Three things you have to have when you travel? Entourage, hat, rubbers.

Any shout outs? To all friends, family and sponsors that have helped me get to where I am today.
