Lorenzo places a high value on educating the whole child. He believes that instilling a passion for the outdoors can not only compliment academics, but enhance them. His life was forever changed when he attended the Colorado Rocky Mountain School for his last two years of high school. He experienced firsthand that when students are authentically inspired to become active participants in their learning, the content becomes meaningful and the lessons derived make a life long impact. It is now his mission to foster an environment where students thrive and the passion for learning becomes ever-present.

After receiving his undergraduate degree from University of Colorado in Environmental Studies and a minor in Scandinavian Studies, Lorenzo moved to Tahoe and fell in love with the world class skiing, climbing, biking, and kayaking that this area has to offer. Here he took his passion for telemark skiing to the next level. He went from instructing and guiding to competing and filming, eventually gaining international recognition.

When his focus shifted from pushing his skiing to building a career, teaching was the natural choice. He received his teaching credential and Masters in Education from Sierra Nevada College and never looked back. He has taught Pre K and Middle School at TEA and a 4th and 5th grade loop at Grass Valley Charter School. His wife Julia and their 2 children, Aurora and Sage, love living in Truckee and the skiing, hiking, and natural beauty the area has to offer.
