Steamboat Springs and Leadville Campuses

After receiving his A.A. degree from CMC’s Steamboat Springs Campus, Pete followed his passion for the outdoors to Prescott College in Arizona and completed his B.A. in Outdoor Education. Since that time, he has worked extensively with CMC’s Outdoor Programs in Leadville and Steamboat Springs, Outward Bound, and in private guiding. Some of his favorite outdoor pursuits include sea kayaking, backcountry skiing, and climbing of most any kind.

Pete has traveled the Baja Peninsula and the Gulf of California for over twenty years, kayaking, hiking, and driving for well over two years on many annual, personal trips. He has also participated as student and staff on numerous Baja California journeys with CMC, including the former Outdoor Semester in the Rockies Program, and four Ocean Orientation sea kayaking courses based out of CMC Leadville. Additional open ocean sea kayaking instructing experience with CMC Leadville includes approximately 150 days in coastal waters of the U.S. and Canada, as well as approximately 80 inland water days at Lake Powell, UT.

Personal Interests

Anything on boats, bikes, and skis. Finding remote outdoor adventures with family, friends, and students away from connectivity (ie - no phones) is a passion.

Role at CMC

I aim to help students maximize their potential to support any and every team they will be a part of in life. Home, community, career, and everything in between — effective leadership, communication, and cooperation centered on achievement of group goals will make for a rewarding life journey.

About Leadville or Colorado

Leadvillians are just good people, and we have the great fortune of a solid community amidst natural terrain and seasons that make for easy local backcountry excursions year-round. When grander adventure calls, Colorado is well-situated for trips to canyon, river, and desert environments.

The courses I teach focus on the marketing, manufacturing and media components of the action-sport industry. I have been involved in various marketing and product design projects for brands like Nordica, Helly Hansen, Spyder, Uvex, and more. I bring the knowledge from my previous professional career to the classroom and strive to create real-world situations for my students. The Ski and Snowboard Business (SKB) program, is the only program in the nation focusing on retail, marketing and manufacturing aspects of the action-sport industry.
