My Story
Gravity is my spice for life! The natural world is my playground for adaptation, restoration of creative zest and the fuel for professional endeavors which make a meaningful impact.
Outdoors and indoors, I am recognized as an innovative coach who inspires my clients’ growth by holding a safe space for them to investigate their reality and to take ownership of implementing their dreams, ideas and goals. I use an ontological approach—how we know what we know—to assist my clients making distinctions to identify, prioritize and allocate personal resources to reveal options and pathways to desired outcomes.
A history major at Princeton University and graduate of Newfield Network Coaching program, I respect how each person can tap into their own rich history to inform the present. Understanding one’s role, taking inventory of ones talents and identifying opportunities to use them, fosters the change you desire.
Being of service is mindful that intentionality generates results with impact. The more agilely one shifts ones mindset as a matter of being of service the quicker one harnesses the power to manifest desired results.
Managing the inherent risk of being a lifelong athlete and coach informs my entrepreneurial skill set. I have founded three business LLCs. I accomplished this all the while caretaking my parents, and raising two daughters who pursue their own careers edified by their advanced university degrees.
I founded a “Safe Place” grass roots organization to repair the effects of violence fomented toward me and my community due to differences in beliefs around religion, race, gender and sexual preference.
Whether as a MJ Thriller Flashmob dancing zombie, or singing (true) Alto with the Aspen Choral Society, I love to learn. Further quenching my thirst for knowledge are several books setting on my nightstand, the reading of which animates my dreams and motivates me to embrace each day.
My roles as a trainer and ski pro with the Ski and Snowboard School of Aspen Snowmass and as a bike Coach with the Snowmass Bike School. My guests are ordinary people doing extraordinary things, including world leaders and international business magnates, military veterans, women’s professional organizations, three-generation families, neurodiverse skiers, and the colleagues with whom I share the slopes.
