First and foremost I have a passion for skating! I believe that skating is for life and it can be enjoyed at all ages. Whether your goal is to be a competitive skater, or choose to skate for personal development and sheer enjoyment of the sport, you learn lessons that you will take with you for life. I believe that when you

set goals there is endless opportunity, and with a strong work ethic you CAN achieve your goals! When you learn to BELIEVE in yourself the possibilities are endless.
