1) What are your summer plans?
This summer will be filled with Graduate School and Skiing. I start with the Crop Science and Genetics Program at University of Illinois in May. I will be taking a few trips as well. Some to North Carolina, Maine, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Colorado; all for skiing of course.
2) What are you most excited about this summer?
I am looking forward to this scenario... Me coaching and Ryan Christopher driving on Lake 2 at Coble's Water Ski Camp while torturing...oops I mean pulling, our most favorite person to pull; Clay Phillips.
3) Who do you plan to ski with?
I have three ski friends that will be around most of the time this Summer... My new roommate Brett Christian Mommer PhD., Traci "Oh Pierre" Weiss, and my fellow founder of the Illinois State Ski Awesomness... THE Shelly Tranchita! Other than that...any randoms that I can fill in!
4) Do you plan on skiing any tournaments? Which ones?
Tournaments. Yes I plan to. They will be whichever my grad school schedule allows for me. Being in agriculture, It's hard to get away this time of the year.
5) Where is your favorite place that you will get to ski this summer?
My favorite place in the whole wide world of waterskiing... my home lake Du Lac in Gibson City Illinois...formerly know as Get-Some-City because of the Timmes Twins!!
6) What do you plan to accomplish this summer? Ski goals?
This summer I am putting in a Record Slalom Course. Been taking dive lessons to facillitate this. I hope to break my PB currently driven by Steven Greene. And I really really want to be in a bar sometime with my favorite Georgians, Virginians, and Carolinans again...
