Every athlete needs constant guidance... I give my continued thanks to my coach, Tommy Zeitz who is the best, Mark
Armstrong who gave me the opportunity, and Richard Simmons who is a great Manager. Meeting Russ Malkin of Big Earth in
November was very inspirational too.Thanks to the whole Canadian Luge Team who have been greatly helping me with many
things through our partnership. The British Bobsleigh Association is also helping a lot and our associations will join
soon. Also thanks to my trainers at LIFT New York, and to the wonderful staff (now friends) at Bisham Abbey in England. Also Duncan
Kennedy...and lastly TASS Talented Athlete Support Scheme - for past support and the International Olympic Committee for helping
to make the dream this season a reality! Lastly, thanks to my parents who have supported me financially throughout my dream

The Great Britain Luge Team. Please see Adam Johnstone - Third from
right - a dedicated coach and great person! Here we are training In Lillehammer, Norway.... a tough life but someone must
do it! I am in the rear!
The only difficulty I currently have is being a dual citizen!!! I am proud to be both British and American and could
easily represent companies from both sides of the Atlantic!!!

Here I am at the track waiting for the next slider to finish... It was
so exciting and I loved it!
I have to thank my family here - my brother Mark - who came over to see me slide for the first time, my younger brother,
Brett - who constantly ribs me, and my mom and dad of course. Thanks for everything...
