Overview

 

How I got started

As a successfull Cross Country and long distance Track & Field athlete earning both conference and qualifying for the state championships i`ve always been interested in racing MTB. In the fall of 2004 after a long time away from sport I've decided to check it out and became hooked instantly.  The rest is history or will be someday. 

Goals for the Future

Continue to grow within myself and realize my full potential taking the appropriate mesaures to be a challenger for the 24 hour national championships and beyond.
I want to win a race both age and overall in the elite series.

I want my riding abilities to take me places I only wished of riding.

Most importantly, I want to have fun and meet a lot of great people from around the world.

 

Bio

 

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

In the WORS Cup at Devils Head Resort, I was stung by a bee lost my focus and on the Downhill switchbacks there was a ditch in which I just didn`t notice and flew over the bars in front of 100`s of people.

Describe your style...

Definately a climber. I love hills cause I know everyone is struggling as I am, but the only difference is I surround my training around climbs so that`s when I drop people.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I train at least six days a week anywhere from 10 to 25 hours per week.  I treat the wors races like sprint workouts for the longer races ahead.

Music?

Rise Against is my most favorite band in recent memory.  These guys really get me stoked to toe the start line.

Why do you compete?

I compete to develop my fitness and overall health. I compete to earn pure victory knowing that all the time, blood, and sweat was all worth earning a good result or personal best or simply completing something I would have never thought I could. And of course the people you meet at these events are all great and love to have fun.
