I have been skiing since I was seven and snowboarding since I was 15. It was what I did every weekend and holiday as a kid and continued into adulthood. Most of my best friends are people I have met in the mountains. In high school and college I worked park staff for Windham and shot photos for their website. After college, I didn't have access to Windham the same way I did growing up, so I would still ride here and there, but picked up roller derby for a few years, that's where DeadLeigh came from, it was my derby name. I got back into snowboarding every weekend and don't know why I stopped. Now, I cruise around Creek most weekends with trips to Vermont and Tahoe each year and wherever else I get taken.
I do some graphic design work for companies and myself and am getting back into photography. The mountain is always where I felt like I belonged, where people understood me. Simply put, it was home for me. I started surfing a few years ago and fell in love. Board sports have brought the best people into my life, taken me all over the world in search of snow, waves, and adventures, and most importantly they have brought me memories I will cherish forever. I am just happy to be stoked and spread the stoke!
