What do you do when not biking: Hanging with the family - my boys Owen (5) & Finn (3) keep us busy. In the summer we love you use our camper, fish & always have lot’sof visitors.  I try to get one day a week of running or cross-fit in the schedule and the winter we do the typical ski stuff, but now it turns to snowbike season!

How did you end up in Jackson: I moved here to open an office for a Colorado based construction company in 2002. After getting married & having our second child on the way we thought it would be best if we moved back to Boulder, CO – wrong move! In less than a year we missed our friends and the lifestyle found here in Jackson and immediately moved back.

Racing Resume

Masters Cycling has been a great way to keep me motivated to train and after a strong finish last year in LOTOJA I’m looking forward to a busy year of racing. I’m targeting stage races/omniums this season with the goal to be in shape by Dead Dog & Tour of Bozeman. Past top finishes include High Uintas 1st GC, LOTOJA 7th Masters, Tour of the Depot 3rd GC & Alan Butler Crit 2nd.
