Around 11 yrs. old I became obsessed with mountain bikes and trying to jump them. Later that same year I competed in my first race. In the decade following, I competed in everything from observed Trials to cyclo-cross racing. I lived in Seattle for a number of years working as a bike messenger also racing on the NORBA downhill circuit. After all these years, dirt jumping still remains my favorite way to roll. Sharing my passion for dirt jumping with the kids in Jackson Hole adds a whole new dimension to my excitement about the sport.
