Board of Directors

Born in the Bay Area, Brad grew up as a weekend warrior on the slopes of Alpine Meadows, where he was a member of the ski team and the ski team coaching staff as well as a volunteer for Achieve Tahoe through high school.  His passion for skiing continued into college, as a member of the Harvard Ski Team for four years.  Brad moved to Alpine Meadow full-time in 2020 and when he is not skiing or shoveling snow, he spends his time as in-house legal counsel to Percheron Capital, a private equity fund based out of San Francisco.

Brad joined the PTCF board in 2016 as a means of staying connected to the community while on the east coast and became the President of PTCF in 2020.  As one of the few board members with no children participating on the Palisades Tahoe Teams, Brad’s commitment to PTCF is driven by his desire to give back to a community that taught him how to work hard, compete and interact with teammates.  Through PTCF he hopes to share those same lessons with today’s youth and inspire a life-long passion for snow sports in others.

Learning to ski at Wolverton Ski Area in Sequoia National Park, Jim possibly holds the Board’s record for the most rope tow laps. As President of Deposition Sciences Inc, Jim brings over 20 years of executive management experience to the Palisades Tahoe Community Foundation board, including expertise in business development, product/technology development, P&L management, revenue and market share growth, operational infrastructure, and customer acquisition/retention.

Jim’s most memorable Palisades Tahoe experiences were skiing in the US nationals at Squaw in 1980 then watching his son follow in his footsteps and race on Exhibition 29 years later. For Jim, being on the Board of the PTCF is an opportunity to give back to skiing because it was such a positive influence in his own life. PTCF’s focus on helping with affordability provides opportunity to northern California athletes that might otherwise not be able to engage in such a life changing sport.

When he was three years old, Jack learned to ski at Alpine Meadows on a cut-down pair of skis and never looked back. He grew up striving to learn every run, even those that don’t show up on the trail map. A resident of San Francisco, Palisades Tahoe continues to be Jack’s home mountain (and home away from home) to this day. Jack graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Since graduation, he has worked at Accenture Strategy as a Payments Strategy Consultant, specializing on real-time payments, emerging markets, and fintech competitive analysis.

Jack joined the Palisades Tahoe Community Foundation in 2023, highly motivated to give back to the place that helped foster a lifelong appreciation for skiing, lasting friendships, and an understanding that a bad day is often cured by being outside, especially when there are fresh tracks to be had. He believes that everyone should have the opportunity to experience similar opportunities, and is incredibly proud to be involved in an organization that has a mission so close to his heart. You’ll likely find him in line at Viva Treats before heading out to do laps near Broccoli Tree or Upper Beaver.
