Some Personal Information About Me:
I just finished up my degree in Finance at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo and have landed an awesome job working for Specialized! I live in Morgan Hill these days where I get to ride early every day. Working full time makes it more difficult to hit the dirt but I still give it a rip when I can. My parents are still big supporters of my competitive nature and my brother has made the big time, racing Pro for X-Fusion this year. Should be a good time!
Describe your style...
I started out riding hardtails, I`m all about the smooth line. I started riding full DH rigs three years ago and am still adjusting to the notion of pinning it. I try to be as smooth as possible, avoiding or soaking up the hits. And I never ride how I race. Races are special and scary for me because I don`t usually ride on the edge. But during races I try to let it go a bit.
Why do you compete?
I think competition brings out the rare side of people. You can never know by looking at someone what kind of competitor they are going to be. I get a kick at seeing people do well and thinking I would have never guessed. I love being that person too, races can almost always promise a surprise.
