He started skiing at age 2 and has been skiing for 11 years and competing for 7 years. Julien is a member of the Timberline Alpine Race Program (TARP) in Oregon.

Julien attended the NBS Summit in Snowmass in 2022 and the NBS Summit in Vail for the NBS 50th Anniversary. He enjoys attending the Summits because he meets and builds relationships with other Team NBS athletes.
