Past Pro's - Where are they now?

Ok, its summer and this forum needs some life. So, heres a little game to play and test your knowledge. Skiing has had many pro's over the years since twin tips took off. Sadly, many of these once heroes have faded away, eclipsed by newcomers who dare to push the limits further. So, where have these old pro's gone? What are they doing now that you dont see them in Ski Movies?
So, lets get it going. I'll name a few old pro's, and find out where they've gone since thier glory days. (Bonus points for any members who know this without having to research!)
Some Pro's to start with:
-JF Cusson
-Shannon Schad
-Mike Nick
-Brendan Buchar (Hes in the credits of SM2, and tweaks his grabs more so than TJ)
-Evan Raps
-Phil Dion
-Nick Mercon
-Skogen Sprang
-Boyd Easley
-Shane Szocs
Thats good to start, now get to it!

I was talkin to this random girl in the mall the other day and she goes "oh yaa, I'm going out to LA to meet my boy's parents... Oh look here's a pic of him!" and she showed me her phone and it was skogen. It was so random. She said she dated andy woods before skogen too, and I called her a pro-ho even though I'd never met her. She walked away.

yeah exactly. Sullivan is around Tahoe doing local comps. Last I heard he worked valet down in reno, but that was last year. He also had a small part in one of MSP's more recent movies in the credits. It was all of like 3 shots. Lenzners gonna take his spot in the next few years.

I thought Mercon was riding at Copper a few years ago, haven't seen him around though.
Another old timer would be Greg Tufflemire - he seems to ride like every day still in Summit County.

I saw Tuffelmire and Mercon at the US Open, and Mercon was in my heat but I think he was skiing for someone. He didnt show up in time for practice runs if I remember though, so his first run consisted of lots of spreads, twisters, and daffy's.
