Most memorable curling events:

Spring 1985, playing in the last "Silver Broom" (Men's World Championship) in Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, Scotland, where we tied for first place in the round robin making the semifinals.
Fall 1985, playing in the First Presidential Cup (runner-up), the precursor to Olympic curling in Lausanne, Switzerland, where Juan Samaranch threw out the first stone.
Winning two Mixed Nationals with the same very good friends.

Introduction to curling:
My parents were very active Madison CC curlers. Curling was a varsity letter sport at my high school and that's when I got hooked. During college I played for a season on my dad's round robin team and we may still hold the Madison club record going 16-0 and finished runner-up in the club championship in 1986.

Additional information:
I believe in goals just because you feel so damn good when obtained. I have climbed a mountain (Longs Peak, CO, 14,255 feet); scuba-dived in Thailand, Belize and Hawaii; and extensively traveled in the UK, Scotland and Europe. On the goal of winning a world championship, wait until next year.

Other sports:
I am a road bike rider enjoying organized rides of up to 100 miles and have yet to experience a big crash. I also play an erratic game of gold. Besides the local health club, I train in the winter by lugging hockey equipment and chauffeuring my son who plays travel hockey.

I periodically devour books, enjoy being outdoors and hanging out with family at our cottage in northern Wisconsin.
