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.

Winning does not always mean coming in first...real victory is in arriving at the finish line with no regrets because you know you've gone all out.

Every single experience, every single thing that's happened in my life, struggle, obstacle, trials and tribulations, I think they've all molded me to become the character and the person who I am.

My girlfriend has been the ice.

An Olympic pursuit really takes a full three to four years of Olympic preparation.

I've always liked game shows - the competitive aspect and the character-driven personalities you see.

My mantra has always been to have zero regrets in life. Everything I do at one speed, I go all-out.
