Tommy placed 13th at the US Nationals and Olympic Qualifying Event last week. He ended on a high note, receiving a great ovation from the audience for his long program performance to Don Quixote that placed him 11th in that portion of the event.
I’m all settled in Spokane for Nationals! I got in last night and compete Friday night and Sunday afternoon. My practices have been fun so far–there was a pretty good audience today. I skate 23rd out of 23 skaters tomorrow night. It will be after 11:00PM by the time I compete, so I’m trying to stay up right now! Just got back from a nice bar&grill across the street, but I ate some of the groceries I just bought at the food store right before heading over…not the best idea in retrospect.
My brother-in-law, Andy, helped me edit a bunch of my skating clips into a video. The music is “New Shoes” by Paolo Nutini, one of my favorite artists. I’ve been a fan since his first CD and saw him live this July! The original exhibition to “New Shoes” was choreographed by myself in spring 2009. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for visiting my new website! I’d like to thank Andy Eiche for helping me to set up a more personal way to share my skating online. The site is still a work in progress, so be sure to come back to check out updates and to keep up with my training!
