Co-Race Director and Founder of the Loon Mountain Race, a mountain race to the summit of Loon Mountain Ski Area in Lincoln, NH. Race course was developed for a qualifying race for the US Mountain Running Team. It has gone on to host the US Mountain Running Championships 3 times and has grown to almost 1000 participants, making it the 3rd largest Mountain Race in the United States. Much of the recent growth is due to our partnership with Trail Sisters to encourage first time female participants to try out the sport of Mountain Running.

In my volunteer role for the team, I actively maintain the team's Social Media presence, including the management of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Google+ and Website exposure, along with fellow Team Manager, Richard Bolt.As Junior Team Manager, I do outreach to student athletes and college level coaches to recruit team members to compete at the World Championships each September. I travel with the Team to the Event and serve as Manager and Support to both the Junior and Senior Teams. As part of the recruiting process, I recently developed a 10 minute video about the team and the opportunities it provides. This video is available at http://youtu.be/_RykiINUlT4 as an example of my work.

In this position, which I do in my spare time when not at my "real job", I help to promote the disciplines of Mountain, Ultra and Trail running in New England as part of USA Track and Field. I head up the USATF-NE Mountain Running Circuit which consists of 6 mountain races in the states of New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts.

I serve as Race Director for the Cranmore Mountain Race in North Conway, New Hampshire. The race has served as a qualifying race for the US Mountain Running Team in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011 and will again in 2013.In 2007 the race served as the USA Mountain Running Championships. In 2009 the race was be both the USA Mountain Running Championships and the NACAC (North American-Central American-Caribbean) Mountain Running Championships. In 2011 it again served as the USA Mountain Running Championships. It will also be the 2013 USA & NACAC Mountain Running Championships.I execute and direct all aspects of the event, from course design, sponsor recruitment to budget management, and coordination of elite athlete housing and transportation.
