About me

When I was a kid, my parents took me ice skating at Central Park in NY. My folks didn’t last more then a lap and gave my older brother the chore to supervise me. I was gone. They couldn’t get me off the ice, I had fallen deep in love already and I didn’t even have a stick in my hand or a puck to smash yet. That was just the beginning.
Growing up I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play several sports, much like most kids now a days- up at 5am for hockey, straight to school, baseball after school, basketball camp the following week etc, I could go on and on. That being said, with all the options I was provided, I was hooked on hockey. I was fortunate enough to play and coach in college, and play some hockey professionally after college. In the end, I found myself on the ice with a whistle, doing my best top provided the same, and more opportunities for the next generation.
I currently work fulltime as a sales representative for a Civil Environmental company, coach high school hockey at Colorado Academy, and train athletes both on and off the ice. My goal is to provide the opportunity for individuals to become the absolute best person they can become.
