About Me | Show Notes

Where is the first place you participated in snowsports?	Willard Mountain
Where is your favorite place to ski or ride?	Whistler
What activities do you enjoy, when you’re not out on the snow?	Anything active and outdoors – Hiking, kayaking, running and yoga.
Who is someone you admire, and why?	Sir Ernest Shackleton – His greatest success was how he handled himself in the face of failure. He showed great leadership, resourcefulness and calm in the midst of incredibly dangerous and life-threatening circumstances. Had he easily accomplished what he’d set out to do, he’d be far less famous.
