Growing up, I dreamed of being a professional ski racer. After over a decade of throwing my feeble body down ice-encrusted hellscapes all over New England, I hung up my skis. I parlayed the grit instilled in me as an athlete into a career in advertising. Working in the ‘biz has its challenges, but it’s nothing compared to your ski coach, Zimbo, barking at you to “stop bein’ a quiet” while your toes flirt with frostbite at the ripe old age of nine.
