About

BIO

I moved to California from Ohio in 2012. I had never raced bicycles before (or competed in any sport) but after watching Cross Vegas via YouTube I decided to buy myself a cyclocross bike and see what I was made of. I spent my first 5 years racing for Mash SF and learning as much as I could about bike racing as fast as I could. My first cx race in 2013, I was sprinting to pass someone and they crossed wheels causing me to crash. I had no idea what lap we were on the entire race nor did I know it was the last one! Everyone told me to get up and run across for the finish. I did just that finishing 12th. Later I found out I had been sprinting for a 5th place finish in my first Cyclocross race. I was hooked. I went from local B races to racing UCI within a couple of years. For 2018 I raced privateer and plan to continue the privateer path for 2019. I am never short of lofty goals so I am excited to see what this season brings.

Outside of cycling, I’ve worked fulltime for Four Barrel Coffee here in San Francisco for over 5 years. I have a dwarf hamster named Michael Douglas and a wonderful partner who also loves to ride bikes!
