Originally from Ventura, CA, I moved to the Vail Valley in 1980. After graduating with a degree in philosophy from the University of Colorado at Boulder, I became the billing supervisor for the Vail Valley Medical Center’s Home Health and Hospice departments. As House Manager of Jack’s Place, I take care of the day-to-day operations of the house with the main goal of ensuring guests are comfortable during their stay here. I am currently enrolled in the University of Colorado’s Executive MBA in Healthcare Administration program where I am scheduled to graduate in July of 2008. My free time is typically spent skiing, swimming or just hanging out at home with my wife and two daughters.

I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a bachelor of science in sports and exercise science as an exercise physiologist. After graduation I completed an internship with the Rocky Mountain Cancer Rehabilitation Institute (RMCRI) located in Greeley, CO where I completed my Cancer Exercise Specialist certification. I worked directly with cancer patients in helping to promote a healthier lifestyle through exercise and education. Once I finished the internship, I started my own business as a personal trainer in Fort Collins, CO. After a few years with no luck getting a job in the cancer rehab field, I decided it was time to move so I found myself working for the Shaw. As the Exercise Physiologist, I have been developing the Fit for Survival program. It is a comprehensive rehabilitation program open to all Shaw patients, both current and post treatment, to promote overall well being through nutrition and exercise. I love to snowboard, play basketball, run with my dog and do anything that involves being in the outdoors.

This includes risk assessment, coordination of genetic testing, and patient and physician follow-up. I am certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling and am a member of the National Society of Genetic Counselors.
