Passions

Backcountry skiing. Yoga. Running. Cycling. I am driven by nature and being outside. I always feel closest to God in those moments.

Most Memorable Ride

The Veneto--the epic riding, the bike friendly culture, the food, wine and the beauty are all tops. This truly is the foothills of the Dolomites, and if that doesn't sound challenging enough, I'd love to get that on camera after day two!
