About Us

 Coach John has taught swimming, lifeguarding, first aid & CPR  and led Project Adventure​​ programs at summer camps since 1983.  John has brought therapeutic adventure programs to Camp Scully, LaSalle School, AmeriCorps, North Colonie Schools, the Town of Colonie and Living Resources.

In 1996, Coach John founded SKYHIGH Adventures as an adventure guiding and skydiving video business.  

In 1998, John and a friend signed up for the inaugural Ironman Lake Placid race on a whim and triathlon was added to multi-sport life programs.  Coach Kathy joined in on the multi-sport life at the same time and has completed marathons, dozens of triathlons including Half Ironman races, half marathons and other road races.

​We have since coached hundreds of triathletes and hosted scores of triathlons.  The Multi-Sport Life Tri Club and SKYHIGH Adventure Multi-Sport Camp were added in 2005.

SKYHIGH Adventure Multi-Sport Camp began as a way for our three daughters to have access to adventure programming with friends on a regular basis, and has grown by leaps and bounds.  
​
​We've continuously added staff members, choosing from our athletes as they've grown and developed their skills over the years.  Our own daughters have all worked and played with us throughout their lives, creating amazing lifelong friendships and memories along the way.

It has been an honor and a pleasure helping our athletes, their parents and families live a multi-sport life. 

Coaches John and Kathy are staying busy in 2025!

We'll be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in February, going on a 3 day safari, and then scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef in March!

 We'll be racing Ironman 70.3 Boulder with daughter Caroline this June and then Ironman Lake Placid in July along with daughter Julia.

We are very active in volunteering at the Sky High Adventure Center, Inc in our hometown, running strength and conditioning,  cycling and spinning classes every day.

We highly recommend  retirement from your 9-5 job!
