About

I’m an endurance mountain bike and gravel racer based in California. I started racing in Michigan and built my background through everything from 24-hour and 200-plus-mile events to UCI XCM World Cups, Pan-American Championships, and the 2024 Marathon MTB World Championships. I now race across road, gravel, and marathon MTB, chasing stronger performances and the kind of long, difficult events that got me hooked on cycling in the first place. Alongside racing, I bring four years of professional bicycle-shop experience, giving me hands-on knowledge of bike setup, maintenance, product testing, and technical feedback.
