How did you get into cycling?	My siblings and I loved adventuring together on bikes. We enjoyed taking road bikes on unpaved routes, or cyclocross bikes on mountain bike trails. To this day we love riding together and competing on Strava.
I am committed to...	Excellence, health, giving back to my community.
What piece of advice would you give your 13-year-old self?	Don’t keep your dreams to yourself. Tell someone and write them down. Excellence takes time. There are no shortcuts.
