I've been riding a bike since I was a little kid. Back then, I could barely touch the pedals, and my marbles took a beating occasionally, but I loved the freedom a bicycle gave me. Over the years, I progressed from a cruiser bike, delivering newspapers, to racing BMX and riding road bikes. My love of the bike never changed; it was just the bike. At a point in time, I spent 10+ years as a bike mechanic, becoming immersed in bikes and the community.

Now, I'm very involved with and am passionate about mountain biking.
I have spent many years advocating for increased mountain bike access in my community in NJ through JORBA, the Jersey Off-Road Bicycle Association. Now that I'm in Bellingham, I am helping build and maintain trails with the WMBC. I'd like to have more opportunities for the sport to grow, so by creating and maintaining my local trails, I'm hoping that more people get out and ride.
