I’ve been here for just over 4 Years in the Vail Valley; I started out as a manager of a ski and snowboard shop in Beaver Creek before being hired by Vail Ski Vacations. I’m currently living in Avon with incredible views of Beaver Creek, having originally moved from the southeast coast of North Carolina, Wilmington to be exact…ever seen the movie Cape Fear with DeNiro?

What do you like about the Vail Valley? How does the Valley enhance your interests?

The Vail Valley allows you to pursue a career while be stationed in one of the greatest outdoor arenas in North America. As you push yourself at work you also push yourself with recreation…winter sports, summer sports, live music…there’s never a dull moment. My hobbies here in the valley include snowboarding, snowshoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, skateboarding, hiking and camping. And by the way, the Vail Valley sees over 300 days of sunshine a year!!! How do you like that Florida?!?!?

Give a brief synopsis of a typical day at work.

A typical day at work includes working on TPS reports, looking for my stapler, decorating my cubicle, harassing other coworkers (especially Greg)…pretty basic. On a serious note, I generally start the day by checking voice mail and emails and following up with anyone needed. Usually 3X weekly I will work on and create QuikBooks files to send to our bookkeeper. This keeps us up to speed with our cash flows and allows for a snapshot of our company’s financials. Once we have this snapshot we can then make knowledgeable, financially strategic decisions for the best interest of our company.

Throughout the day I will field phone calls from potential clients, work with existing clients and also work with domestic and international wholesalers whom send business our way. I love working with FIT (frequent independent travelers) clients but right now I’m really enjoy working with the wholesalers, as this is new to our company. Setting up new relationships throughout the USA as well as overseas is exciting! New contacts, new networks…it really takes our company in the direction we’re shooting for which is to be recognized and well-respected world-wide. I am proud to play such a vital role in developing our wholesale division.
