ABOUT GRIFFIN
Born and raised in Wakefield, Quebec, I am a Snowboard Cross athlete in the Elite category of the Quebec Provincial team and train with Club Prestige Snowboard at Mont Ste Marie.
I have had a passion for snowboarding ever since I was little and my parents were sliding me around on a board. It helped that they are both snowboard instructors and have coached me to this day. I entered my first race in February of 2015 and surprised us all by being on top of the podium.
My goal is to one day represent Canada at the Olympic level, and continue to represent my community of Wakefield, Quebec and Canada at the international level.
