I have been producing videos professionally since 2006. Previously, my subjects were handed to me by employers and clients. Now, I have started a new life in Breckenridge, Colorado and I can finally produce the videos I have always dreamt of.
This is my first professional-level snowboarding video.
Last Winter I lived with and sponsored an up-and-coming rider from Michigan.
We lived and shot together for a few months, even though he was nearly half my age.
Alec Vandeweerd has several years of experience working on the park crew and riding at Bittersweet.
When we shot and lived together, he had just graduated high school, and I was in the middle of shutting down my real estate brokerage in Kansas.
By the end of the season, I had suffered a severe injury from riding with Alec and his training buddy Toms Petrusevičs (Latvia's Olympic Trainee.) Nonetheless, I evolved as a rider, and I'm working hard on my recovery for the 2015/2016 riding season.
Watching Alec evolve during my time producing this video was amazing. With the help of Woodward at Copper, and Toms, He progressed from not even hitting the biggest kickers in the Area 51 Terrain Park to performing 1080 double-corks.
To me, There is no better feeling in the world than snowboarding. Living with Alec, Riding with Toms, and producing this video has been the best way for me to start my new life living in the mountains and snowboarding on a near daily basis.
Please like and share this video to help Alec get sponsored and start his professional career. At the same time, you will be helping me start my new business in my favorite place in the world!
