Terry started skiing at the age of two and started competing in tournaments at age ten under the guidance and coaching of his father, Ray Huber. His dad was the driving force behind him getting stung by the skiing bug early in life. Terry's father would wake him up at 5:30 in the morning as a youngster to practice. Most mornings, Terry would tell him he would rather stay in bed but his father was quick to reply that Champions aren't born in bed. That was all the encouragement he would need to get him out to practice on many early mornings.

Terry was lucky to have grown up on Pine Lake in LaPorte, Indiana where his grandfather had purchased property an the early 1900's . Terry's father, Ray, started the Correct Craft Promotional Program in the late 1960's and because of his relationship with Correct Craft, the family was given a new boat to use every year from 1966 through 1982. Terry's family skied so much that they installed a 500 gallon gas tank  at their house and ran a gas line to the end of their boat dock. Terry skied in his first state tournament in 1964 and at the age of eleven placed first in the Junior Boys and Boys Slalom Division every year from 1967 through 1973.
