Tool(s) of the Trade: Alpine skis

Experience: Level 2 PSIA. 12th season at the Summit Learning Center. Began teaching in 1985-86 season at Hidden Valley, PA. I also taught at Seven Springs Mountain Resort where I ran the Junior Ski program. Summit Learning Center’s “Instructor of the Year” in 2008. SLC Staff trainer since 2000.

Background: I began teaching 24 years ago because my brother and friends were teaching. I always wanted to work in the snow sports industry; I even wrote my 8th grade career day paper on becoming a ski area manager. I enjoy working with the staff at The Summit because I learn new things from everyone on a daily basis. One of my favorite lessons of all time was my first year at The Summit when I taught an eighty year old student how to turn at the magic carpet in order for him to knock skiing off of his bucket list.
