I have been writing about action sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games for almost a decade, having covered the X Summer and Winter Games, the Summer and Winter Olympics and Paralympics, the Dew Tour, the World Championships, etc. from each and every angle, however, my favorite pieces to write are the profiles of athletes who make those sports so fascinating.
