Max grew up in New Hampshire spending his free time in the mountains and lakes. He recently moved to Teton Valley with his dog, Fernie, in September 2023 and immediately became enthralled with the natural beauty, mountain exposures, and community.

Max's formal coaching started in 2015 while living in NYC at AsOne Fitness. While coaching throughout the year, he spent his spare time training for and competing in the Spartan Race pro series. After achieving his goal of qualifying and competing in the 2015 World Championships in Tahoe, he left NYC in 2016 to fuel his curiosity for big mountain sports in the PNW and Colorado.

Skiing has been and will always be his passion. From a dedicated and coached freestyle skier, to the demands of earning your turns in the backcountry. Max is calculated and focused on maintaining strength and capacity for those full-day resort laps and big mountain expeditions.What motivates him is participating in, and witnessing the Teton community accomplish their fitness and adventure goals.  Outside of the gym you can find Max skiing, mtn biking, golfing, climbing, hiking, and pouring you a beverage at Refuge Taphouse.
