My name is Jeff and I am a full time ski racer in the USSA Series. I travel all over the east coast every weekend racing and just luv it. I also race in the NASTAR Series and am proud to be a 2-time 17-20 National Silver Division Champion ('05 & '06) and a silver medal in the Bronze 17-20 Division in 08. I have always been around racing since i was a little kid and grew up watching some of the best skiers ever like A.J. Kitt, Billy Kidd, Doug Lewis, Phil Mahre and so on. I started USSA racing when I was 10 in the Jack Frost & Big Boulder Racing program and competed in J4-J1. I am now coaching professionally for JF/BB and also with Bear Creek's race program with 4-time Olympic and former world cup racer A.J. Kitt. When i am not coaching racing, I work in the JF/BB Ski School as a PSIA instructor in the Kid's Center.
