I grew up in Anoka (Andover) Minnesota with my older brother, mom and dad. I started skiing at four years old (I made my parents take me with them on their trips) and started racing at 10 years old. I skied for the Junior Race Program (now D-Team) and USSA at Wild Mt as well as Anoka Senior High. I joined a Ski Challenge Team in 1998, because my dad made me.
I have worked for Ski Challenge for seven seasons, sort of joined as a fluke when registering for my Sunday League and Barb said she needed help on Wednesday Nights for staff @ Wild Mt…I volunteered at that point, and have worked almost all of the leagues that are currently there. I’ve also coached for several MN High Schools (skiing and soccer) and of course at Wild Mt for 20+ years.
Besides skiing I enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, running, biking, photography and of course BAKING CUPCAKES! My family consists of – Jon and Wesley (the side kick) (4)
And we cannot forget our Girl Vail Aussie Mix (11)

My skiing days began in the chalet at Snowcrest. While my older siblings, cousins and parents learned how to ski; I enjoyed racing my cars along the window ledge. By the time I was 6, I was outside the chalet and skiing on the hills. I began ski racing in elementary school and raced USSA all through high school. My wife told me it was time to go professional, and work for The Ski Challenge, when I wanted to add on yet another league, three years ago.
My wife, Pam, and I live in Hugo, with our four adult kids; including two sons and twin daughters. All of the kids ski, but one prefers to snowboard. I feel lucky that my wife and one son also ski race with me.
In the off-season I enjoy hiking, biking, hunting and fishing. I’ve been active in the Boy Scouts over the years, and I am a Mason and a Shriner.
