Did you do every single thing you could today, to be your best?

I believe my father has and always will be the strongest influence in my life, as he has guided me on many paths.

I was always active as a child. My dad tried to place me in every sport imaginable. I had so much energy, he wanted to push me in a direction where that energy was used appropriately to keep me out of trouble and focused while I was in school.

I think we should all be pursuing something of zero regrets, and how do we become greater than we were yesterday.

Champions all get kicked when they're down.

My dad's great. He's my biggest supporter. He's always told me that whatever I choose to do, I can do it. I just gotta put my mind to it.

Vancouver is an amazing city and luckily, growing up in the Seattle area, I was able to immerse myself into the culture at a young age, traveling back and forth across the border for skating competitions as a youngster.
