In 2018, the 34-year-old’s late mother Elaine told Deseret News that Reid’s mission is to make people happy. Now thanks to the film producers he met, he’s spreading more smiles than ever before!
“Some professional film producers befriended my brother Reid this year and have been a big boost to him, especially after our mother’s passing in June,” his sister Lisa wrote. “They learned that his dream is to perform in front of others, so for Christmas they made this video montage of his rollerblading shows in Salt Lake.”

While he said the best part about skating is being able to lift people’s spirits, it also helps him enjoy himself. In fact, when he was asked about his favorite part of life, he answered, “Just being who I am and just having fun with it.”
