About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build bikes and cultivate passion and purpose in my life.
I also work at a community bike shop where I teach kids bike mechanics that are donated to people in need in Greeley-- my Super Goal is to revamp the shop and do some stellar rides this summer.

ABOUT ME

I keep my backpack packed and ready to go for whenever anyone wants to hit the road.
I cycle, swim, and run (triathlete), and I love hiking, and bouldering. Languages are my passion, and I hope to meet and network with different peoples and cultures.
I seek peace, simplicity, and understanding.

I also love trail running and am trying my feet at ultra running.

PHILOSOPHY

I know where I'm ending so I don't have to worry as
I get there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Nationals for Triathlon and meeting amazing people on the way there, there, and back. Incredible.
Or, getting to the top of Trailridge road on my bike when I was super out of shape, haha.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share/teach: Anything triathlon related, languages, stories, and thai food! If you're looking to do anykind of race, I'd love to help you train-- or do the race with you! I also lead community bike rides throughout the week that you would be welcome to join!
For me, I'm trying to get more into rock climbing and bouldering-- if you want to feed the disease, let's go climb!
