I could not live without snow
My dream vacation spot is where I can ski in the morning and swim in the afternoon
Pure relaxation is Fly-Fishing
I love bikes; I am a bike collector
The best place to rest is on the porch of my parents' house
My favorite meal is Mexican food
My best friend(s) are my teammates
“Being the underdog, an American in biathlon, really motivates me!"
