Since my graduation from high school, I have been working in outdoor recreation, starting at a summer camp in Northern Colorado. From there I went on to get my bachelor’s degree in physical education and finally a master’s in sports administration/business management. While at school in Bellingham, Washington I discovered sailing, then went on to become an athlete on the US Sailing Team and a co-founder of Sail Sand Point, a non-profit sailing center in Seattle. One of the fun stops on my way to Challenge Aspen was Bermuda where I acted as the Director of Sailing for the small country. While sailing is still close to my heart, I usually teach at least one adaptive instructor certification course each year and love being back in Colorado. Sharing my passion for the outdoors has always been a huge part of why I do what I do. I feel especially lucky to create and share the love of skiing, biking, rafting, and other mountain sports with people with disabilities.
