Danville: I am free most Fridays year-round for Private Lesson as long as the weather and my schedule allow. Starting May 1, students who live close enough to meet me in Danville have the option of scheduling a single or a series of evening lessons at 6 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. I'm also available by pre-arrangement on Fridays and weekends in Danville.

Visit Me or Find 3
For more distant East Bay residents, there are several incentives for meeting me in Danville:
- My Danville lesson fees are less expensive
- You can ask for 2- or 3-hour lesson (with a break) to make it worth the drive
- No waiting for me to accumulate the necessary 3 students
Fremont and I-80 corridor: When three or more students are available for a lesson on the same day, I will make the drive to Frank Fisher Park and provide personalized private (1 person), semi-private (2 people) or group instruction (3 or more).
Northern East Bay: Same deal: When three or more students are available for a lesson on the same day, I will make the drive to Miller Knox Memorial Park in Richmond. This is an undiscovered dream site for skating that people from Alameda to San Pedro should know about.

Join me at Camp Rollerblade
Mini Vacation Camp: If you have time for a more intensive learning opportunity in a lovely resort setting, I am instructing two five-day Camp Rollerblade vacations this year, one in Hilton Head Island, SC on May 17-21 and the other in Tampa Florida November 30 - December 4, 2008. Visit the Camp Rollerblade web site for complete details or to register before the available slots fill up! This is one of my very favorite ways to get people rolling.
Zephyr Adventures: The Florida Skate Camp and Skating Adventure runs from December 6 - 10. These dates are back-to-back for a reason! We expect some folks to graduate camp as Advanced Beginners, and be more than ready to embrace the entry-level Zephyr Adventure that opens the door to other skating adventures that have become so popular. At this time, I am scheduled for instruction and guide duty at both of these.
