I was born in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and my early education was split between two continents. Every year, I spent the first semester of school from August to December in Rovaniemi, Finland, before flying back to the U.S. to complete the second semester and enjoy the summer. This transatlantic routine continued for 11 years of my life. Growing up, I was immersed in a wide array of sports and loved every moment of it.
