Born & raised in AK. Grew up Alpine ski racing thru college. Started backcountry skiing after a ski-bum winter in Chamonix, France. Then telemark skiing to get lower to the ground with his kids, Mia & Col. Got hooked on Nordic racing after participating in the Tour of Anchorage. Started Girdwood’s Kinder Nordic Ski with FVCS for kids ages 4-6 (pre-Junior Nordic). “When you live this close to a ski resort, you have to start them young if you want them to Nordic ski”. His main winter work is running the DEVOs alpine ski program with the Glacier Valley Ski Education Foundation (Alyeska Ski Club), for kids ages 7-14. In summer, he and wife Melanee operate Chugach Adventures, a local rafting, adventure tour operator. Oh, and he’s fast on skate skis.
