Eric Webster, Grand Prix Tour Director at USSA, presented me with the opportunity to work with US Snowboarding on its marketing and promotional materials starting in 2004. Eric and I had been friends and worked together for many years on different projects ranging from photography to web and print design. Eric has been a great influence on my career and the direction it has taken since I first discovered photography and design in the mid-90s.

USSA (United States Ski and Snowboard Association) is the U.S. Olympic governing body for Skiing and Snowboarding. Each year we produced a look/feel for the Grand Prix Tour, an annual series of 3 events that determine which Athletes will compete in the winter Olympics. I was given creative license to explore within a certain set of requirements. The projects scope included full page event ads that ran in Snowboarder Magazine, event posters distributed throughout each resort venue, event bibs, event credentials and event start facades.

It was a pleasure working with Eric and USSA for 7 years, two of which were Olympic years 2006 & 2010.
