Tool(s) of the Trade: Snowboard, Alpine skis

Experience: AASI Level 1 certified. Awarded “Rookie Instructor of the Year” at Summit West for the ’08-‘09 season and will now have to work extra hard to compete for the coveted” Best In Show” award. I think that is actually a dog show award, but who keeps track, right? I like teaching anyone who has an open mind, is willing to try something new and doesn’t mind falling down in the process of learning.

Background: I am a local boy and have been skiing and snowboarding the slopes of Snoqualmie since 1982, back when the Thunderbird lodge was actually open! I picked up my first snowboard in 1987 and have only occasionally looked back since. I have found a home here at The Summit and am very excited to be an instructor at what I consider to be my home slope. Seeing someone catch on and feel the excitement always makes my day. So come on up and join us! I would be honored to teach you my secrets!
