Alpine Skiing

Years of Experience: 22 years

High School attended: Saint Thomas Academy '03

Why Saint Thomas Academy?  Coaching Saint Thomas Academy's Alpine Ski Team allows me to provide a unique opportunity to instill discipline, resilience, and a strong sense of brotherhood in young men who are poised to become leaders. Skiing is a sport that demands precision, mental toughness, and teamwork, all qualities that align with the values of both the academy and the broader military ethos. By coaching this team, I help these students develop not only their athletic skills but also their character, teaching them how to push through adversity, embrace challenges, and strive for excellence both on the hill and in life. It’s a privilege to be part of their journey toward becoming well-rounded, principled leaders who embody the values of faith, duty, and service.

A fun fact about yourself: In my spare time, I enjoy fly fishing for brown trout, steelhead and salmon. Skiing, fly fishing and coaching have always been my true passions.

Family: I’m also blessed to have a truly incredible daughter, Emmalin, who  excels in both softball and volleyball. Our small family is rounded out by Ollie, my lively German Shorthair Pointer, who keeps us company both on the couch and in the field.

Purpose Statement: My goal is to focus first on the student athletes I'm entrusted with, to grow and develop them as young men and leaders instead of just improving them as athletes. My program embraces the morals, values and ethics to inspire and motivate our student athletes to positively change their lives and the lives of those around them; both on and off the race venue. The success of my athletes can be measured by the experiences, interactions, memories and the overall time spent with their team, that they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
I aim to leave a positive imprint that will forever be a part of each person's life that I've had the privilege of coaching.
