What inspires you to compete?
Just the feeling. There is no better feeling that just getting out there and riding your heart out. I love everything about it. The smell, the people, pushing yourself so hard that you hit your rythm and you just flow. It the greatest sport.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
When i`m not in school, I ride my mountain bike (Specialized Hardrock, very nice) as much as I can. Usually 2 times a week. I work out on my bowflex 20 min a day, 4-5 times a week. I ride as much as my schedule lets me. I try to ride everyday, but realisticly its only about 3-4 days a week. With my school schedule, its hard to train, but i do what i can. I plan on Ice racing this year, just help stay in shape.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be successful at whatever it is i do. I`ve done alot of things and i havn`t failed yet. I would like to graduate in the top of my class, which i`m doing pretty good right now, (3.8 GPA) but i really want to race GNCC. I got alot of work to do to get there, but like i said, i havn`t failed yet.
How's Life Treating You?
Right now its super hectic. I got school everyday from 6am-1pm, then i got work from 2pm-6pm, then i got at least 3 hours of homework. But i get it all done during the week so i can ride on the weekend, and burn off all that stress.
Employment / Experience Summary
