Name: Pete Phillips

Bio: I started with Burke when Matt Whitcomb decided to move on to the
US Team. We had worked together in Montana and had stayed in contact
through four years of a summer trip to Sweden that we did with Sun
Valley’s Abi Holt, and cooperative camps in West Yellowstone. Burke is
an awesome place to work and the support for training opportunities
can’t be beat. One of the things that my experiences over the years have
rewarded me with is knowing athletes and coaches from one coast to the
other and on the other side of the Atlantic. That lets me and Burke
engage in a lot of fun and constructive exchanges. Watching those grow
into faster racing and lifelong friendships is the best reward out there.

families from the greater Portland area. I play frisbee, baseball and
football to mix it up a little and am a member of the Coastal Soccer fan
