Home mtn?
Stowe & Bolton Valley VT, ICE COAST YO!

What is your job?
Create a ton of spreadsheets and power point presentations to convince people of what they already know but didn’t have in writing. I oversee what Josh and Nate are working on and then tell them to do it different and faster. I also think of new ways to making skiing less laime, un-cool, old, stagnant, difficult and boring by doing the same things other companies do that don’t sell skis.

Least favorite animal?
Spiders that aren’t daddy long legs

What do you do when not working?
Hang with my 3 year old mini me

Weapon’s of choice?
EP Pro 5” pow and up, Anthem - most underestimated ski ever made, FT Hot Dogger, Planet Earth outerwear, Bern helmet

You make the best?
Chicken parmesan, battle me!

How did you get this job?
Back in ’95, I wanted skis that weren’t laime, so I started making my own

Vacation?
You have to go to Jamaica, don’t question me, just go. After you’ve decided to never return, send me a post card inviting me to visit and stay with you. Just tell you’re mom I made you do it. Hurry up dude! Don’t worry, I’ve got your back!

Best food?
PIZZA is a way of life yo! Think about it, dough, sauce & cheese. There is nothing simpler and more satisfying and it probably fits the food pyramid perfectly too.

How many shoes do you have?
1 pair of Etnies and 1 pair of work boots, I also have 1 pair of dress shoes that I only wear when people die or get married.

Worst job?
One time I worked for a landscaper and we had to hand rake an entire golf course before the grass was planted (every square foot). It was being built from scratch with bulldozers and big machines that left it super rough. So we had a crew of 5 people lined up across the course with steel rakes and just kept raking and picking up rocks and roots and stuff until it was smooth. I couldn’t believe that was how it was done but it was the only option. It was way back when I was working one week at a random job to make money then the next week I’d spend the money to make skis, etc.. I never made the full week at that job. I almost lost my mind on day two and basically ran off before getting to the end of the first hole.

Favorite snowy terrain?
Spring time slush, perfectly groomed terrain park with oldschool medium sized features. Step downs are not good. Real tables are the shit!

Gets you mad?
Crowded places with lots of people and cars

What is summer?
I’m all about different seasons to keep things fresh. I ride motto with my friend Mike. It’s the closest thing to skiing you can do in the summer. We session a sand pit doing big slashes on steep banks and small airs. It feels just like skiing, but is a new sport with lots to learn so its ridiculously fun. Go buy a used bike, then join our Burlington Malitia to shred some dirt. Metal Malitia ain’t shit!

Surf the Web?
Funny youtube videos people send me and about 10 minutes a week at www.newschoolers.com to educated myself through the messageboard and laugh my ass off. I don’t have time for anything else.

Why are you so cool?
Because I do what I believe in what I do and if you don’t believe me, that’s cool.
