Kris's Story

Hello Basking Ridgers, Life is good. Kids Oldest daughter Kyla Marin is a wonderful kid, and a lot of fun to be with. Her birthday is Dec 27 2000, just missing Christmas, which would probably be a bummer as there would be no kids to share your birthday party with you. She's a great, big sister to Alyssa who was born June 15, 2004. The kids love the mountains and skiing (of course). We love playing, and riding bikes and I love to be a dad, something I never thought I could do. My Pets Sierra is a cat who is fat and happy, and commands the largest diction of any animal I have ever conversed with Sierra is named after the mountains I now live in and love so much. Zephyr is the younger of the two, big and fluffy and sleeps 23 hours a day. What a life... As for me, I'm divorced now after 9 years of marriage, so looking at the statistics on divorce I would guess that half of you should welcome me into the club. I have owned a small software company, which gives me a lot of flexibility to live my life. Although I have had a judge tell me that I "don't work enough", which was downright wrong, I have managed to live a great...Expand for more
life. My life contains a lot of avenues for fun, such as, Snow Skiing and Ski Racing in two circuits out west: the Sierra League and the USSA Masters where I have been managing to stay in the top 3 of the 40 years olds. I have volunteered as a ski team coach to pay back the wonderful gift that my ski team coach, Mr Geers gave to me as a confused young man. Have even helped a bit with my good friend Bob Howard's Freeriders club. Bob was a world champion freestyle skier three years (79, 80 and 81) at the time we graduated from Ridge. There are a lot of great fun skiers out here. I would say great, but I recognize the skiers in the east as being better. Other life avenues are Adventure Motorcycle riding on BMW Dakar 650, Mountain Biking, Outrigger Canoe racing, Kayaking, Tennis, and Sailing. Had a bummer of a winter (2009) when I tore my ACL during the Western Regional Ski races (USSA Masters). In rehab now, but hope to take a couple of Mountain bike trips to OR and Fruita CO this summer to make up for the lost time. If you are in the Reno/Lake Tahoe area I hope that you would give a call and plan a visit. 775-851-2052
