Hola my friends!

So the time has come for me to say farewell to my Nor-Cal roots! Tom’s job is moving us to Denver, Colorado – so we will be re-locating in the new year!

I will be so very sad to say good-bye to all of my friends, students, classes and connections here in the Bay Area… but I am SO blessed for the time that I have shared with all of you and for the fabulous memories that we have created together! I am truly a better person and instructor for it! And who knows, maybe I’ll be able to come back and visit and be a ‘guest’ TK teacher for one of my old classes!

If you ever are in the Denver-Metro area, look me up and come join me for some good clean Turbo fun!! I do look forward to finding what the future holds for us in Denver. You KNOW that I’ll be hitting the Rocky Mountains for some amazing snowboarding as SOON as possible! Adios, ~JD
