Bio
With a hockey family history from Lake Placid NY, my passion for this sport has never faded. My grandfather coached for 25 years in the Olympic Village and I remember my grandmother taking me skating on Mirror Lake in 1980 during the Olympics. We moved to
NH when I was 5 and have been involved in this great game ever since. With 20 years of hands-on experience I truly enjoy passing on
my knowledge and passion to assist in the development of today's athlete both on and off the ice. I have trained and coached players
from the learn to play levels through the professional ranks. I understand the importance of teamwork, work ethic and of course
academics. Having been an owner, director and general manager, I understand what leadership qualities are essential in operating a
successful program.
