“ENJOY THE PROCESS; WORK HARD, PLAY HARD.” 

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW AND WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT IT? 

I grew up in Bend, Oregon, and I now live in Peacham, Vermont. What I love most about Vermont is the contrast of the seasons. Living in an old farmhouse, I’m always busy with homestead projects (chickens, gardens, chopping wood), but I also volunteer with the Peacham Fire Department and love to get out skiing in the winter.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SNACK TO ENJOY WHILE RIDING YOUR BIKE? 

My favorite snack to enjoy on a hot summer ride is an extra large maple creemee in a waffle cone

WHAT'S ONE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR SOMEONE LOOKING TO GET INTO THE SPORT COMPETITIVELY, PROFESSIONALLY, ETC.?

My advice to people looking to improve: there’s no substitute for hard work. Focus on riding your bike rather than dwelling on the trivial trends.
