Biography
“Totz. I got the nickname after I created the twitter handle K8ertotz as a joke, but the name stuck*
California niño, grew up surfing and skiing. Played every sport in the book until I sold my soul for 11 years to be a professional athlete in a sport called Luge. I got recruited when I was 10 years old and at 15 I moved out of the house to pursue the Olympic pipe dream. A few concussions and broken bones later, I had the opportunity to race for Team USA in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. I danced my way into the top ten and had the time of my life. Sochi was the last time I was on ice and I haven’t looked back.
I graduated from Brigham Young University and had a solid run working part-time with a mic in hand for the Dodgers and NBC Sports. I just barely learned how to put on makeup so they were kind enough to put me in front of the camera for so many years.”
