I am a recent Alumni of Lindenwood University where I raced for their USAC Varsity Collegiate program racing Track, MTB, CX, and Road. My bicycle riding journey began at a very young age. One of my earliest memories of riding is mountain biking with my dad on a modified Townie bike with 24” wheels (any bike with knobby tires is a mountain bike right?). Years of rides like this with my dad set me up to discover mountain bike racing at the age of 14. From there I raced 4 years in our local NICA chapter progressing to the upper ranks of the league. I would have probably continued on as a strictly XC racer if not for meeting my long time coach Joy McCulloch and her husband Brian. It was watching them compete in my hometown stage race, the Redlands Classic, that inspired me to dream of one day taking the start line myself.
