I hope this podcast finds you happy, healthy, and living your dreams!  That is exactly what I was doing in 2002: pursuing my dream of becoming a Snowmass snowboard instructor.  After a phone interview I was invited to an on-snow interview in December, almost 20 years ago to the day.  I packed up my grandma’s white Chrysler New Yorker with everything I thought I needed: clothes, snowboard gear, and my drum set.  Don’t ask about the drum set, I’ll get to that in another episode.
