Abbott started skating competitively at age 4, after watching 1980 Olympic Champion Robin Cousins in a show. After winning the U.S. National junior title in 2005, he narrowly missed to qualify for the 2006 U.S. Nationals in his first year as a senior. In May 2005, Abbott established a fund for boys skating competitively at the Aspen Skating Club, where he began skating. Abbott moved from Aspen to Colorado Springs in 1999 for better practice conditions. He also competed in ice dancing. His older sister Gwen was a national-level downhill ski racer.
