Mine is a story of two sports, show jumping and mountain biking. My first sport and passion was show jumping and that consumed my teenage years into my twenties. At ages 13 I have a gold medal and had competed on national teams twice. At ages 16 I left school to ride professionally. After many highs, lows, national titles, and everything in between, I left professional show jumping to teach full time. 

​

Fast forward into my thirties and I knew I was missing something, my extreme competitive drive was lying dormant as I went about completing my graduate education. I initially started running, build up a fitness base and ran a few marathons. As many do I expanded the running into triathlon and one the course of about triathlonI found mountain biking, or it found me. It completely fits as the perfect sport to utilize a lot of those showjumping skills but gives me the freedom that show jumping did not. As we enter 2021, I've set crazy ambitious goals. I have two A races in my sights, Trans-Sylvania Epic 5 Day Stage Race and Marji Gesick 100 mile Mountain Bike Race. This will be a great year.
