I grew up in Rhinebeck, New York near the Hudson River, spent my undergraduate at Saint Michael's College just outside of Burlington, Vermont and came to Telluride in 1992. This wonderful community has been my home ever since. I am married to Peggy and we are blessed with two wonderful young sons, Charlie and Henry.Purchasing real estate in Telluride is one of the best quality of life decisions you will ever make.

The quad lift into the deep powder stashes of the 'Revelation Bowl' off the back side of Gold Hill offers some of the mountain's best skiing.
