Welcome to my Website!

First of all, I want to convey how much I love this sport! I can't think of anything I would rather be doing.

Skating is my creative outlet, my energizer, my peace-place and a safe haven where I can just be ... me!

Thank you for taking an interest in my skating and please check back often.

~Eliot
 


Meet Eliot

Name Eliot Jon Halverson

Nickname JoJo

Birthday November 8, 1990

Birthplace Bogota, Colombia

  

Born in Bogota, Colombia, Eliot came to the United States as an infant. "I was adopted as a five month old baby," he said.

He started skating at 6 years old. "I began skating at the age of 6 on the pond in my backyard," Eliot said. "I copied the moves and jumps of skaters I saw on television."

Eliot received his first pair of real figure skates as a gift for his seventh birthday. "I skated on the pond the whole day," he said. "I thought I could land triple Axels if I turned my head really fast in the air."

"My mom said I wouldn't come in from skating that night," Eliot said. "I cried because I wanted to sleep on the ice."

Eliot started the United States Figure Skating Association's Basic Skills Program soon after. He began private lessons in spring 1998.
