With a relationship that began on the dance floor of the Mangy Moose over two decades ago, it’s surely destiny that Courtney and Chip Marvin are finally making their debut turn with the Children’s Learning Center’s Dancing with the Jackson Hole Stars!

Chip’s community involvement include ten years as an active volunteer and board member for the Farmer’s Market on the Town Square, starting the Jackson Hole July 4th Kids Games, and serving as Treasurer and other positions at St. John’s Episcopal Church. In his spare time, he enjoys adventure travel, mountain biking, bee keeping, camping and enjoying everything Jackson Hole has to offer with Courtney and their not-so-little CLC alums Lily and Harry.

Ben was born in Cheyenne, WY but his parents met in Jackson in 1967. He attended UNLV for hospitality and moved to Jackson in 1996. He includes 2 Norfolk Island Pines named Simon and Tracy as family members! After managing Rancho Alegre and opening Restaurant Terroir, Ben discovered he enjoyed working with metal and made the switch to artist and designer in 2001. He enjoys dancing and participating in all the outdoor pursuits Jackson has to offer and was a freeskier in the 80’s…and yes that did include ballet skiing! Ben decided to dance for us because he volunteered for CLC when he first moved to town and realized what an invaluable service they provide to the community.
