His individual passion for skiing, racing, and jumping were only equaled by his love of teaching. He was an exceptional athlete who possessed tremendous people skills and taught literally thousands of students to ski with his patient encouragement. He achieved various certifications from the PSIA over the years, yet he never forgot his humble beginnings in the early 1970’s trying to get established in the Breckenridge community.  He requested that a memorial scholarship fund be established in his name to assist others with the financial cost of certification.
