"A Brief History Of My Figure Skating To Date"

As a young figure skater, I was often compared to Kristi Yamaguchi and my style was described as "hauntingly feminine." However, when high school rolled around, I was kind of in and out of the sport, often seen as a dilettante and a manchild who could soar through the air on his way to completing a triple axel.
