Sam began ski racing on the Whitewater Ski Team but quickly realized that he wanted the freedom to roam the hill on his own terms. He joined the Whitewater Freeride Team along with a posse of extremely talented young skiers and coaches where he began to excel in freeride skiing. Sam Competed in Freeski contests through his teens resulting in him winning the overall North American title. Through a series of good connections and small, successful film shoots, Sam got noticed by the producers of Matchstick Productions. Sam went on to put out an award-winning segment that skyrocketed his career to where it is today.
