A 2009 world champion in short track speed skating, as part of the men's relay team... A week later, he was a member of the bronze medal-winning pursuit team at the speed skating single distance worlds... He attempted to qualify for Vancouver in both short track and long track speed skating, but only succeeded in speed skating...

As the pilot for the USA-1 bobsled, I broke a 62-year gold medal drought when my sled, the 'Night Train" won the Olympic title at the 2010 Vancouver Games. A degenerative eye condition nearly caused me to quit my sport in 2008, but corrective surgery restored my vision to 20-20.
