Notes
| What is an interesting fact about you? | I have seven amazing grandchildren that keep me on my toes! |
| What jobs do you do – within and outside the snowsports industry, both winter & summer? | I love working with the members and helping them reach their professional goals! |
| Where is the first place you participated in snowsports? | Scotch Valley in New York |
| What was your first job in the snowsports industry? | PSIA-AASI Albany office! |
| If you could give a younger person snowsports/career advice, what would it be? | I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough – So try everything at least once. |
| What activities do you enjoy, when you’re not out on the snow? | Motorcycles – wind therapy is my escape. |
| What would be your personal motto? | Winners never quit, and quitters never win. |
