He likes snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, wrestling, soccer, rock climbing and running 5Ks and Spartan Races. In 2019 he won the Kids’ 2-mile competitive Spartan Race as well as the Killington Triathlon (during a snow storm!). He won the Woodward Fastest Ninja Challenge in his age group both for Killington Mounain and across the country.
