Peter's Story
Life
After ten years of working in Mahhattan and Greenwich and way too many hours spent commuting on the train I moved to Snowmass Village, CO. located right outside of Aspen, CO. Traded in the tall buildings for some bigger mountains. Going from Wall Street living to resort living was quite a challenge and rather fun to boot! I have done so many wonderful things here, like meeting my wife Julie and starting a family. We even had a "postcard" June wedding at the top of Aspen Mountain at the Aspen Mountain Club, which required everyone to ride a Gondola to and from the wedding. Almost caused my mother heart failure! I also got involved with the Aspen Skiing Company teaching skiing and then running the Childrerns Ski Programs at Snowmass Mtn. and Buttermilk Mtn., home of ESPN's Winter X-games. It's tough having a chairlift for an office. :) I've waited tables for many of Aspens celebs and was part of a group that taught Will Smith and his entourage/family to ski. Nicest guy you could imagine. Visualize trying to teach his six foot four body guard "Charlie" to ski. Straight out of the city, never had been on skis before and probably isn't interested in hurrying back here anytime soon. I think it was his gun that hindered his movements!
I spent some substantial time living in Brussells, Belgium and Seville, Spain and have enjoyed other extensive travel during my many months of off-seasons (pre-kids) and have gotten into snowboarding, ice climbing, snowmobiling, mountain climbing, mountain biking, motorcycle riding, road biking, fly fishing, bird hunting, camping, home brewing, guitar, blah!, blah!, blah! Life is good when you finally do what you really enjoy. Colorado has much to offer the outdoor enthusiast. I love it, but please don't move here!
I even commuted back to Connecticut for five consecutive springs to coach Wilton youth Lacrosse with my brother-in law. My Nephew Peter was on the team. Felt like a traitor, but blood is thicker than water! We even won ...Expand for more
two consecutive years in the annual CONNY tournament held at Yale. Fun! Fun! Fun!
Recently started my own high end residential home building company, DolMar Development, Inc., have been a Big Buddy mentor for over two years, going to volunteer to coach Aspens fledgling Lacrosse program next spring and just keep on having fun. We have many winter/summer guest from New Canaan and have the good fortune to visit with and travel extensively with my family. Everyone in my family is happy and healthy. Chris runs his own Law Firm in San Francisco and has been nominated and chosen for both the San Francisco and California "Trial Lawyer Of The Year". The youngest nominee ever to have earned both honors.He was just was elected Pres. of the Calif. Consumers Lawyers Assoc. so he will be spending a lot of time in Sacramento moving closer to the world of politics each day. He married a great Calif. girl named Juile and has a beautiful daughter, Audrey and has a son "Jack" on the way. John is living in Costa Rica where he has bought some substantial land and when not surfing, is building beautiful homes by the ocean. When not surfing in Costa Rica or Europe he's always circumnavigating the globe looking for adventure. Morocco, India, wherever! Oh, the advantages of being single! Marianne is a Wall Street Wonder Kid, having run a successful hedge fund as a partner and now is Managing Director of Moon Capital. When not in China, she's in Taiwan, when not in Taiwan she's on a plane to God knows where. Loves NYC, but also the heat and humidity of Boca where she also has a home, as well as in D.C. It helps that her boyfriend Luis lives in Miami. Meg is the sane one, living in Wilton, happily married for over 25 years with three great boys and a great husband. Meg now travels like we all did before we had kids as hers came early in life. Hope you're all well. Many fond memories of New Canaan. No regrets!!Looking forward to using this website to catch up with old friends. Ciao!
