Born and raised in Minneapolis, grew up racing at Afton Alps. In 2005 he started coaching for the Mount Kato development team while attending college at Gustavus Adolphus College. He moved back to the cities in 2008, where he continued to coach for Breck School for three years. In 2011 he moved to Vail, Colorado where he coached for Ski & Snowboard Club Vail and the Vail Ski Academy. 

Zach has been with the G Team since 2013, and in his time has developped a program that has won multiple US Nationals podiums as well as qualified and placed 12 athletes on the U-19 National Team.  During the 2018/2019 season, 7 of 12 athletes selected for the U-19 National Team were G Team riders, along with him being named as coach of the team, to compete at the Junior World Championship in Rogla, Slovenia.

When not pushing his athletes to the limit he spends his time at Hennepin County Medical Centers Comprehensive Cancer Center in Radiation Oncology, helping patients through their cancer journey.

Growing up in Mount Shasta, California Robby was introduced to Alpine Snowboarding at a young age. He spent his childhood homeschooled, and training on the mountain 5 days a week. After high school Robby graduated from the University of Idaho with two Bachelors degrees in Forestry and Fire Ecology, along with earning two Collegiate National Championships in snowboarding and All American honors. He spends his summers doing a combination of firefighting and forestry work to help fund his competition season each winter. 

After college Robby spent the last 6 years as a professional athlete which he continues to this day. After narrowly missing a birth at the 2018 Winter Olympics, he has his eyes set on the 20220 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. Over the years Robby has also explored another passion, coaching and public speaking. Having coached at Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, and for the US Snowboard team, he is not only a well rounded athlete, but a great addition to our coaching staff. 

Finishing 15th at FIS World Championships last year was a huge result, in addition to taking home The US National Championship title in PGS and PSL In 2019. Robby is looking forward to continuing his competitive career with G Team, and bring his knowledge base to help expand on a very diverse Alpine program. Robby and head ProAm coach Zach have a long standing relationship, an exciting season planned, and big goals for the athletes. We can’t wait to see what these two do together!
