Category: Road 5, Cross 4, MTN 3
I have been cycling for fitness for 20 years, mostly on the road, with some mountain biking thrown in for variety.  I raced briefly in 1994 and began to compete again last year when my girlfriend got the racing bug.  I have a master’s degree in psychology from Appalachian State University, where I also attended as an undergraduate.  I am currently employed as a staff psychologist at the J. Iverson Riddle Developmental Center, where my work focuses on applied behavior analysis with adults with severe and profound developmental disabilities.  After residing in Morganton for the past 15 years, I am in the process of moving to Valdese with my partner Amy and her 6-year-old son Addison.  Outside of cycling, I am a musician and play both electric and double bass.
