“As I kid I played just about every sport I heard of. That means, I had all manner of coaches – some great, some I wouldn’t care to see again.  I aim to be not only the sort of coach that can help an individual improve his or her skills, but also the type of coach that inspires that individual to give it their all, and be their best on and off the water.

I insist upon taking a positive approach. From a lifetime of sports, and over a decade of coaching skiing, I have never seen negativity create the best outcome.  When we are out on the lake, your passion is my passion. Nothing gets me more fired up than helping somebody succeed who wants it badly enough apply their best effort. 

I try to make every lesson highly personal, and meet the student right where he or she is.  If talking technical is your thing, let’s dive into the details. If you are a big picture person, let’s keep the concepts broad, and make sure you have the big picture right. If you need to understand rhythm or body mechanics, let’s talk about those things in the water and on the dock. The more you communicate with me, the more I can give you the information you need. More than anything, I want to ensure that our time skiing together is enjoyable and rewarding for both parties.”
