With the exception of our Juniors head and assistant coaches, our club is run entirely by volunteers. Leadership includes our Juniors Head Coach (Chris Stock), our Youth Head Coach (Jim Stock), a volunteer Board of Directors, Board committees, and Operations committees for each program.

Youth Head Coach

Leadership_JimStock

Our Youth Head Coach, Jim Stock, grew up canoeing, sailing, and skiing in the Minnesota outdoors. He learned to love cross-country ski racing in college as a member and captain of the Yale Ski Team. Now a US Ski and Snowboard L200 certified coach, Coach Stock has served as the head coach for EMXC Youth and its predecessor EMBK for more than 20 years. He has long taught as a professor of economics at Harvard, serving a stint as President Obama's top economic adviser on climate as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers, and more recently was appointed Harvard's first Vice Provost for Climate and Sustainability. Coach Stock values cross-country skiing as a lifelong family sport, and his coaching focuses on developing youth ski racers who love to ski well while having fun!

Juniors Head Coach

Chris Stock grew up in Eastern Mass and learned to cross-country ski originally out of necessity to keep up with his very athletic family members. He quickly developed a love for the sport as an athlete in EMBK and CSU (now EMXC). He eventually represented Team New England at four Junior Nationals, skied for four years at Harvard, and raced at the 2014 NCAA Championships. He spent five years in California obtaining a PhD in computational neuroscience, while escaping to ski and run in the Sierras whenever he could justify the long drive. Chris moved back East during the pandemic and has been highly involved with EMXC since 2021. You can contact Chris at chris.stock@emxc.org


Board Members

An all volunteer Board governs EMXC and all of its programs. Board members include current parents of Juniors athletes, Youth athletes, and parents of graduated athletes. Many of the Board members coach in either the Juniors or Youth program and several are certified at the L100 or L200 level by US Ski and Snowboard.
