1. I was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey. Since 2003, I’ve been living in Los Angeles, California and Park City, Utah. I still have an accent. 
2. I got my level 1 ski instructor certification at Big Bear, California and level 2 certification at Snowbird, Utah. 
3. I taught skiing to more than 1,000 people.  
4. I’ve skied at more than 60 resorts on 4 continents: Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
5. I skied with a fully-ruptured ACL for 100 days. The experience helped me to be in tune with my body and mind. 
6. I competed in bodybuilding competitions, triathlons, open water swim races and running races. The longest open water swim race was 4 miles (6.5 km) from Asia to Europe in Istanbul. 
7. I did ice bath training at the beginning of the 2019-20 winter season. My definition of cold has changed. 
8. I practice yoga and do the Feldenkrais method to align my spine.
9. On my ski days at Deer Valley, I do intermittent fasting and break my fast with a natural buffet.
10. My core values in life are playfulness, integrity, and growth.
