CROSS COUNTRY CARREER

 HOW AND WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CROSS-COUNTRY? At the age of four my father took my out. The only good part then was the hot chocolate.
 HAVE YOU HAD TO OVERCOME ANY SERIOUS INJURIES? Yes...a bulged disc, broken foot, cartilage tear in my hip, knee, and wrist.
 WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL TRAINING REGIMEN? There is not enough space here to tell you. Basically train hard enough that I am on the edge of fatigue through the summer and just enough to keep me fast in the winter without losing shape.
 COACHES IN PAST AND PRESENT My Dad, Alain Parent, Mike Cavalier, Dave Wood, Arild Monsen, and Inge Braten. Currently I am my main coach with my Dad keeping a close eye.
 WHAT DO THE OLYMPICS MEAN TO YOU AND WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU WANTED TO BE AN OLYMPIAN? I wanted to be an Olympian ever since the National Team came to Rossland when I was about 10 years old.
 WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST Wining a bronze medal with Alex Harvey in the Whistler World Cup.
