Teddy passed away dooing what he loved today. He was the main filmer for Theory-3 media, and was the guy responcible for capturing some of the best most progressive new school skiing.
Teddy, was the nicest guy I have ever met and was the more stoked about skiing than anyone I have ever met. For the last three years, Teddy has been at my side shooting video everyday I have been shooting stills. I had justgotten back from shootingan entirely new area today, and was trying to call him about it when Jeffy called telling me that Teddy passed away while filming the K2 Back 9 in Whistler. Teddy was a mid-west kid that moves out west to full fille his life dream of filming skiing, and studying plastics engineering. He died doing what he had always wanted to do, and had an amazing life the few short years he was around. Hde will be sorely missed and are entire sport will fill his abscence.
RIP Buddy, I hope that you are gettin endless blower powder runs and nailling all of that A stock foottage up there.

Teddy was the glue that held Theory-3 together. He was the one that got us moving no matter how bad the snow report was. He ws the one that got us to got and shoot rails all night long even if it was freezing or rainging. He was the most passionate skier ever.

all that I know at the moment, is that he passed away while filming due to a stroke that resulted from complications to a heart deffect that he was born with. He died dooing what he loved, and what he always aspired to do. He couldnt quit talking about today for over the last month. He was so stoked that he was getting to heli ski today it was unreal.
RIP buddy

I'm just... shocked. People like Teddy... well if you knew him even a bit I guess you know. I didn't know him all that well but he was just always so great to be around, always the nicest guy to everyone. The type of guy you wish everyone could be more like. The world just lost one of its best... and far, far too soon...
I just don't know what to say.
RIP Teddy. You'll be missed by all who knew you.

i am truly saddened for this loss. i never met teddy but his good reputation even from this website alone vastly preceded him.
RIP to the only guy that could beat up chuck norris, and condolences to the family.
