Background: I started skiing with the Bellevue Ski School at Snoqualmie Pass in 6th grade and was immediately hooked by the mountain experience. Riding the school bus up to the mountains every weekend during the winter in junior high lead to ski instructing, raising my family in the mountains and a second career in the snow sports industry.

I enjoy sharing my passion for nature and mountain sports with others. I believe that one of the best remedies for those who feel out of balance, lonely or unhappy is to go outside and be in nature. It is amidst the simple beauty of the mountains that I feel the happiest and skiing is the best way I know how to have fun.
