Growing up in North Carolina did not offer many opportunities for good skiing, but my first trip to Winter Park Colorado at age 7 hooked me on skiing all the same. While in school at Virginia Tech I was the president of the ski club, and enjoyed a number of trips up to Vermont each year. After two ‘work study’ winter in Sugarbush VT I was sure I would be working in the ski industry.


The logical move after I finished up college was to move out to Boulder CO. 18 years later I still wake up each day excited to help each client have the best travel experience from start to finish.
