Spotlight

Here are a few friends from home who are killing it at life.
Lucas is one of those kids, who would never be the one to tell you he won the Legendary Mt. Baker Banked Slalom ('07) at the young age of 18, beating out guys he grew up watching win the pro men's division, Temple Cummins and Terje Haakonsen. He is a humble somewhat quiet kid with talent that speaks loudly. I have watched him through the years grow up, work hard and finally BLOW UP on the snowboard scene. Lucas also won "Rookie of the Year" at the Transworld Rider Poll Awards 2009. Proud of you bud!


Kolby and I danced together on our high school Dance Team, BHS. She always stuck out as a starlet that could freestyle like no other. I remember us girls all thinking that someday Kolbs would be in music videos and such. Well it seems her love of dance is still very much alive. She has recently graduated from college having danced on 2 teams through her years in Eastern Washington. One being an elite group, The Spokane Shock Dance Team. I have no doubts that Kolby will go on to be a professional dancer for a sports team and who knows, maybe a music video or two. 
Elisa is a woman of the world. Having traveled to many far off places and gathered the most breath taking shots along the way. She is a student of photography at Evergreen, an avid adventurer, athlete and an activist for positive change. Most recently she has been acknowledged for her abilities in rock climbing. 




Crystal Banning
Crystal and I danced for years together, first in the Pacific Ballet Company and then on the BHS Dance Team. She was shall I say, the most talented dancer I knew growing up, always! She had a love for ballet at a young age and ran with it. Now she is a graduate from Montana State University along with an acclaimed ballerina. She has danced for companies in Boston, gaining notice for her exquisite technique and grace.
