CURRENT MISSION

Do what I love and love what I do

ABOUT ME

I can fly. Enough said!

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play hard. There was a phenomenal runner, Steve Prefontaine, that said something pretty neat, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been hit by a semi-truck while riding my bicycle... and lived!

Teach, Learn, Share

From many years of racing and working as a mechanic, I can build and repair any bicycle. Plus, I learned some cool things from other teams about recovering from hard work outs. So, after a long day of riding, running, or just plain working out, I know a few tricks. My favorite skill from those years is some of the snacks that I would cook (like my cheese bread) and eat while the main course was being prepared.
