I've played all types of sports such as lacrosse, hockey, sailing, skiing, etc. This sport is by far the most enjoyable of them all because of the people you meet, the years you are able to play the game and the level at which you are able to go in the sport is club curling, cashspiels, national, world and Olympic."

Curling family: "All my brothers and sisters curl. My father was president of the USCA and my brother is helping run the Worlds in 2006."

Hobbies: "I love to sail, water ski, and, of course, curl. When I'm not curling I like to restore wooden boats and snow ski."
