In My Own Words:

I spend my off-season doing:  Trying to pass school.
My goals and expectations for 2012 are:  Learn, stay upright.
I started racing because:  Seemed better than doing triathlons and looking at the line on the bottom of a pool.
My cycling mentors and/or influences are:  The decorah peloton.
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be: Any ride I don’t get dropped by the folks in decorah.
The one thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again:  Riding country gravels on the shotgun opener for deer season.
When I’m not on my bike, I like to:  Hang with the fam, read, and engage in a whole lot of nothing.
Something you probably don’t know about me is:  I grew up in eastern North Dakota.  it is not a cycling destination.
