Head Coach

Brian has been skiing for 20 plus years and this will be his fourth year of coaching at St. Louis Park.  He loves to encourage skiers and to help skiers develop the skills they need to succeed.  If you ask Brian for the key to success in Nordic he will tell you three words:  "Time On Skis"

Assistant Coach

Kara has been teaching 5th graders at Susan Lindgren to ski for over 20 years and is excited to share her love of skiing with the SLP high school team this year. She is thankful for the amazing coaches she has been able to work with over the years, and hopes to carry on in their tradition by making all skiers feel seen, supported, and celebrated as they reach for personal bests this year. 

Assistant Coach

I'm Ivy Houts! I'm a recent grad from UMD and graduated from SLP in 2021.  I've worked one season as a coach and about 6 years as an PSIA instructor at the Loppet Foundation.  This team establised a love of the sport of skiing and has introduced me to some of my closest friends.  Nordic has been the best decision of my life and I'm loving being a high school coach.
