Story: Riding was something I always did for fun as a kid. When I was 16 my dad took my brother and me to the BMX track for family bonding. From there I started working in bike shops and my life was revolving around bikes. After high school I received a cycling scholarship to Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC. Four years of pure enjoyment and lots of experience. After graduation I decided that Colorado was the place to be if I wanted to continue pursuing my cycling career. So I packed my bikes, my dog, and whatever else would fit in the car and drove cross country. Now here I am in little ole Lyons, Colorado pursuing the cycling dream, as well as working for the best micro-brew in the country. Mmmm...is that some tasty brew.
Most embarrassing race moment: Well, whenever I am not having fun.
