ABOUT
MARIAH BELL
Mariah Bell is the 2022 U.S. National Champion and Olympian. Mariah started skating when she was four, because her sister, Morgan, also skated. Mariah grew up skating in Westminster, Colorado at the Ice Centre at the Promenade. Currently, Mariah lives and trains in California under coaches Rafael Arutunian, Vera Arutunian, and Adam Rippon. In her free time, Mariah enjoys spending time with her two bunnies and dog!
ABOUT BRADEN OVERETT
Braden Overett began his skating career at The University of Denver when he was 9 years old with coach Susan Williams. He was competing nationally by age 11 and internationally by age 14. During his competitive career, he enjoyed performing as a guest skater in various shows throughout the country. In 2007 he was awarded the Choreographer of the Year award. He started crafting programs for national, international and world level skaters like Ryan Bradley, Bebe Liang, and Max Aaron; ironically later in the season he’d be competing against them on the national stage. Upon retiring from competition, he continued to choreograph programs and design outfits for skaters throughout the country. This turned into a small elite line of practice wear for skaters, called Veretto Sport, offering both competition and stock sportswear designed around the needs of competitive athletes. Braden later joined Holiday on Ice and toured various parts of Europe as a principal performer. When he returned from Europe, Braden began co-creating and co-directing local ice shows, trying his hand in the developmental process of entertainment.
Fun Fact: In 2018 he made Adam Rippon’s Olympic costumes and in 2022 followed suit with Mariah Bell’s short program dress for her Olympic debut! He currently lives in Long Beach, CA with his beautiful wife Jillian and his adorable daughter Adeline.
