Findlay, Ohio
With very limited ice available in Bowling Green, things began to change. I caught wind that down south they actually had weekly sessions just for team compulsories, so of course I had to check it out. I ran into coaches like Craig Perry, Laura Meyers and Stacy Franks — all good people. It was at this time I began to plant myself in Findlay, Ohio, in part because they did ISI and they offered considerably more ice time, which obviously equals more work. From there, I became head pro of Silver
Blades and met my dearest friend Tracy. Our vision for this club was endless. Our passion for education, organizational skills, professionalism and growth was headed in the direction we felt best for all skaters, club members and the rink alike. Tat’s pretty much my short version!
ISI, as you can see, has been very good to me personally, as well as to the hundreds of skaters across the world I have been affiliated with. So many memories and great opportunities have happened for me. I was also privileged to work with special
skaters with physical disabilities like cerebral palsy, deafness, and prosthetic limbs, and I even taught a blind person. Among my most successful skaters are the twins, who are both still very dear to me! Alissa is a two-time U.S. national champion and her sister, Amber, is a top-level coach at the Detroit Skating Club, where I continue to team coach with her.
