“Mike was truly a difference maker for myself and my family. As a teenager, I was incredibly fortunate to have him not only as a snowboard coach but also as a mentor. He helped me learn to embrace who I was—both on and off the mountain. His guidance had a lasting impact on how I showed up in the world, influencing the way I approached family life, friendships, and school with greater confidence and authenticity."“
Adam Redling - Former Athlete
“I carry so many things with me in my personal and professional life that Mike has taught me. I wanted to be like him as a kid and it has been a great model to look back at and reflect..”
Mikey Tuck - Former Athlete
“I see Mike’s kindness in Aiden every day. The lasting impact of simply being a good person—Mike embodied that, and now Aiden does too. One of the most powerful things Mike gave Aiden was the courage to grow. These days, Aiden intentionally puts himself in uncomfortable situations because he knows that’s where real learning happens. That wasn’t always the case. Before Mike, he might have recoiled or walked away, afraid to fail. But Mike showed him that failure is part of the journey, not the end of it. That mindset shift changed everything for Aiden."
Amber Rowell - Parent of Former Athlete
"One of Mike's super powers is how quickly and seemingly easily he connects with young people. Both our son & daughter were excited to train with Mike on the slopes because they knew the day would be filled with positivity & laughter while also improving their snowboarding skills."
Michael and Amanda Solomon - Parents of Former Athletes
