Why are you racing for Velosports?
Being part of a great group of community and fitness minded guys that are always striving to improve is a huge motivator. There is a real sense of “esprit-de-corps” in this team and each member supports their teammates, their sponsors and their community with avid enthusiasm.

Hobbies/Interests while not on the bike: As a member of the National Ski Patrol at Sugar Mtn. Resort I get to enjoy my favorite winter activity, alpine skiing. Hiking, fly fishing and backpacking round out the shoulder seasons. Living in Beer City USA also helps with my carb loading!

In His Own Words: Do, or do not. There is no try.
