Additional Profile Information: I have dedicated over 30 years to sharing my passion with young ski racers, first time skiers and snowboarders, coaches and our Mt Hood Meadows instructor staff that grew from the experiences I had learning to ski and race as a young boy. How proud and lucky I am to work with a staff that has the desire to share with you that same passion for the mountain experience every day. One run at a time, exposing thousands and thousands of smiles with the beautiful back drop of Mt Hood.
I am proud of our professional staff and the quality of the lessons we provide. If you have any comments, questions, concerns or kudos for our staff, shoot me an email. It's just like we teach - the only way we'll get better is through the guidance of a teacher. I look forward to hearing from you, and perhaps we can take a run together the next time you're at the mountain!
