Moved to Calgary to train full-time and study at Mount Royal University. Won back-to-back World Cup bronze medals (Bakuriani, Feb 2021; a second in Dec 2021) before claiming his first World Cup win at Val Thorens in December 2023 and winning the following two races as well; on one of those days, in Arosa, he and Hannah became the first siblings to win ski cross World Cup races on the same day. Competed at both the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics, finishing 31st at the 2026 Games in Livigno. Finished the 2025-26 World Cup season 7th overall with 471 points.
