Began skating at age 6 because his dad thought it would be a fun weekend activity ... Attends UCLA ... Graduated from Grauer High School in June 2008 with honors ... Received the Presidential Humanitarian award ... Likes going to the movies, horseback riding and spending time with friends and family ... Would like to finish college and go into business after he's through skating ... Broke his left ankle on a triple Salchow in 2003 and was off the ice for four months ... Would like to meet Lance Armstrong because "he overcame a huge obstacle, recovered and never detoured away from his love and passion for cycling."
