Path to the #AdaptiveNation:

When I was searching for a home in summer 2006 went to a lady’s house to possibly rent it – She happened to be an NAC board member. The home was not a match for me, but she shared something more valuable. She told me about the NAC and the competition program for alpine skiing. It was at the NAC my dream hatched. Even though I have trained with other programs on and off, NAC is my home and since I started my journey here … I intend to retire as a NAC athlete for life. I love Park City and the whole community that supports us as NAC athletes.
