Hey Hey, I’m the “new guy” here at Liftopia; I joined the team this last June and so-far-so-good (just kidding, I love it!). I grew up in NC skiing at Beech Mountain, but now I’m a Tahoe guy…in the summer you can find me paddling out at Ocean and Rockaway Beach, or coaching the SF Special Olympics swim team (go Sea Lions!!!). I can’t wait for winter; my allergies are killing me (just teasing, I just want to take some runs)! Bug me on twitter this season to swap some snow stories; we love hearing about your days on the hill..! You can find me at @decentsea.
