I have riding and fixing bicycles in some form as long as I can remember! 

With humble beginnings as a kid jumping his bike off of home made ramps, I was swept up into the BMX wave of the early 2000's. Watching the X-games and idolizing legends such as Matt Hoffman and Dave Mirra, BMX took over my life. I was never great at BMX but It was always a part of my life. In my early adult life I began to venture into other two wheeled contraptions such as motorcycles and mopeds. Throughout those years, I still loved bikes and began to start riding bigger bikes. I started getting into 10 speeds and fixed gear bikes. One day, a good friend invited me to try mountain biking. From that day I was hooked. Mountain biking was a way to enjoy the "BMX feeling" on a bike that actually the right size for me, and I was able to fully connect to nature. From there, the racing bug hit and I began to attend mountain bike races. It wasn't long before I ventured into gravel biking, then road biking.

Fast forward to today, I still race bikes. I primarily enjoy racing road bikes and gravel bikes but I still mix in a few mountain bike events.

Most weeks, you can find me out on the the Kalamazoo bike club rides and riding with Team Clark Logic.
