TUNA

I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, where I lived for the first 20 years of my life. When Covid happened, I decided to move to Montana and see if I could become a professional biathlete, which sort of worked and it has just snowballed from there. Outside of biathlon, I am incredibly passionate about equal rights, making sure that people have closer to equal opportunities and representation, and I love to put myself into situations that are foreign so that I am forced to become more comfortable with things I don’t yet understand and experience other cultures.

Outside of biathlon, Vincent enjoys unicycling, latte art, bad jokes, good jokes (rarely), reading books, doomscrolling, and living within a rom-com.
