What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?
Hunting, fishing, and boating – I like to get out on a boat on the lake every weekend that we can. I really like to get outdoors. During the summer, we spend a lot of time outside. We’re inside too much during the winter, so when it’s warm out, you’ve got to get outside.

What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?
My favorite hobbies are snowmobiling and flying airplanes and aviation. My dad and my grandfather got involved with aviation on the same day – I guess it would be the early ‘60s – and my grandmother became a pilot as well. When I was 16 I solo’ed (flew solo) and when I was 17 I got my pilot’s license. I’ve been doing it ever since. It’s another pastime or enjoyment to take your mind away from work and things like that.

What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?
When I’m not racing, I’m usually at the mountain snowboarding, mountain biking or going hiking – a lot of stuff with the outdoors. I also play a lot of hockey year-round. Sometimes I’ll go into a men’s league for soccer, and I’ll play with a bunch of people from around home. I live in Killington now, so I’m a little bit away from Barre, which makes that a little harder.

What are your favorite non-racing hobbies?
I like to go down to Gup’s (Steve Guptil’s) shop and just hang out with the guys and talk and gossip all the time, and I like to go plowing with Dad and hang out. That’s about it – I don’t really like the winter that much, and in the summer I’m busy with racing.
What do you do for school and work?
I go to school at Harwood Union High School; I’m a junior there. Next year I’ll be going to CCV (Community College of Vermont) for my senior year and I’ll be able to get high school credits and college credits. I also work at Grenier’s Farm Stand & Bakery. I work in the bakery most of the time – sometimes I’m in the farm stand, but mostly I’m in the bakery making pies.
