Hi folks, I started skiing when I was 5 years old in Cassadaga, NY. Summers were short, but we made the best of it. I free skied all the way into my 30's before being introduced to a slalom course in 2001. Since then the course has been a passion and an addiction. I've made some of my best friends on the river and lakes between Washington, DC and Richmond, Virginia. My water ski home lake is now in a small town called Sparta, VA. Timberlake is a private ski lake that hosts tournaments, clinics and junior development. We love to promote 3 event water skiing. I have a wife and 3 kids that are all becoming ski junkies just like me. In the past few years I've taken on the roll of President of the Virginia Water Ski Federation and just became President of the Timberlake Water Ski Club. Summer and the water ski season can't get here soon enough.
