[edit] Biography

Smith represents the Skating Club of Boston.[1]

At the 2006 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, he was the only competitor to land a clean quadruple jump.

Smith trained, for a time, at the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club in Newark, Delaware, then moved to the Skating Club of Boston, and was coached by Mark Mitchell and Peter Johansson. His programs have been choreographed by Jamie Isley, Lori Nichol and Nikolai Morozov. Before the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, he changed coaches again, this time to work with Stephanie Grosscup in Salt Lake City.[2]

He withdrew from the 2009 U.S. Figure Skating Championships due to muscle spasms in his back, just before he was to skate his short program.[3]
