The Grand Traverse
Race Director
The Grand Traverse is the most time honored point-to-point ski race in North America. Over its 23 year legacy, this singular test of endurance across 40 miles of alpine terrain has become a rite of passage quest among mountain athletes across the nation.

In 2014, I was pivotal in evolving the event brand into its current multi-season series format, inaugurating Grand Traverse Mountain Run & Bike events.  Beyond this brand expansion into summer endurance disciplines, I further grew the event profile by launching the Grand Traverse Skimo Academy, a pre-season race training camp.
