After attending the University of Oregon, Lars moved to Telluride, Colorado in 1985 for a winter of skiing and adventure, a lifestyle that continues today, over 36 years later. Though he has replaced ice axes and harnesses for golf clubs and hiking boots, Lars continues to take advantage of Telluride's incredible backyard. He is an avid golfer, skier, hiker, biker, fisherman and general outdoorsman but also enjoys reading and traveling when he is not trying to keep up with the women in his life—his wife, Annie, and their two daughters, Taylor and Skylar.
