Tiffany (age 4), and are very excited about life in Vail! Scott and Kristi enjoy biking, skiing and climbing the mountains of Colorado, traveling, jogging and wood working. Passionate about the outdoors, in the summer of 2000 they completed climbing all 54 of Colorado’s Fourteeners, the first clergy couple to do so. During their joint sabbatical in the summer of 2007 they were privileged to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, which at 19,340 feet, is the highest peak on the Continent of Africa. They are also avid skiers. Kristi has served on ski patrol and as an instructor in years past, and Scott has spent their marriage of over 20 years keeping up!
