About Me

    I have been racing for 4 years now as a mountain bike racer. I am currently a licensed USA Cycling Pro racer. This season, I was entering my first year in the Pro ranks and broke top 30's. I'm an east coast rider who loves technical trails and punishing climbs.. I'm drawn to this sport from a passion I have in me to ride my bike. It's not about money, fame, or anything else. I'm living my dream everyday. When I was 7 I had this dream. Now it's the satisfaction that I know I'm making my dreams happen.  I've had so many ups and downs in racing. I set out to get my rough edges taken off and pick up my game for 2009 and like Nutions Law random stuff will happen and it did, but I grew from the experiences. I got the training, the bike, and support from my Dirty Harrys Team to make this my best season ever and it was. This page is about myself sharing my dream with you while taking you along for my journey to the top. So hang on because 2010 I got a drive to make it a "BANG"!
