Glenn proving that he knows exactly how to use a kneeboard!

I have been the president of the water ski team at Clemson University as well as the team Captain and the South Atlantic Conference Director.  Through all of these positions and my time in collegiate skiing, I figured I have built up enough of a knowledge base about the sport to have good ideas moving this sport forward.

What is one big future goal you hope to accomplish by taking on this board position?

One future goal I have is to get the Eastern Region to become more involved than it is currently with NCWSA. It has so much potential for growth and creating more leaders in the sport, we just need to figure out how to get the ball rolling on that.

Glenn started on this goal of helping the East to become a greater force within the NCWSA by attending Team Midwest’s Winter Conference this past weekend. Glenn wasn’t the only Eastern region skier in attendance either, Sam Greenwood (University of Alabama) and the West Virginia University Water Ski Team were also in attendance!

 

Welcome to the board Glenn!
