Mike fell in love with skiing at age 3 while learning at China Peak Ski Resort in California. He started out in ski racing but went on to focus on soccer, playing through high school and at Dominican University. Even during his soccer years, he always found time to ski each winter in California and Colorado.

More recently, Mike has gotten back into racing through Masters events in the Central Valley and Lake Tahoe, reconnecting with the sport he’s always loved.

Mike shares his passion for skiing with his wife and two kids, ages 11 and 7, who have grown up skiing alongside him. As a coach, he focuses on making skiing fun while encouraging hard work and commitment. He’s proud to support the Diamond Peak Ski Team as Teams Manager and Race Administrator, helping young athletes build a lifelong love for skiing and ensuring races run smoothly and successfully.
