TJ first got on skis at age three, and moved through the Park City Ski Team ranks onto the U.S. Ski Team. In 2001, TJ was the top-ranked junior in his age group for Slalom and Super G in the world. On the World Cup Circuit, he amassed multiple top10 finishes, and after a career ending injury, he now coaches speed for the U.S. Men's Alpine Ski Team and skis big lines in his spare time.
