Personal History
What inspires you to compete? My friends. Both those that ride, and especially those that don't. They have no idea of what they are missing in life. That little adrenline adds perspective to life.Why do you like this sport? Being with friends and family. It is a very social sport. Experiences are created and shared every time you go out. These are the kinds of experiences you can share with just about everyone who rides. If they ride, they probably understand. A commaradarie shared over all social gaps.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like? Yes. It consists of running 3x a week, strength training 2x a week, and riding as much as possible during the season. Unfortunately, that is usually about once a week. In the off season, it consists of various snow sports and more lifting than aerobic exercise.
Do you like to travel? What's your best (clean) road trip story? MXdn at Budds Creek, MD. What could be better, besides riding? Touring our nation's capital and watching the best MX riders in the world.
I also try to get to Nicaragua as often as possible. Every couple of years. However, more and more people are finding out about it.
Employment / Experience Summary Welder through school. Securities Trader for Fidelity Investments. Currently working on opening a gym.
