In My Own Words
I have had the unique opportunity to pursue both a career and passion for the outdoors, centered around world-class mountains. While my primary focus was on the ski industry, I worked in the outdoor and lifestyle brand markets promoting various forms of outdoor recreation including mountain biking, fly fishing, running, hiking, hunting and camping. I am eager to reposition myself in a way that once again allows me to live and work in a community that envelops a passion for the outdoor culture.
