Other Information/Notable Facts: I do a lot of road riding. Give me a shout if you're going out! I have a hedgehog--they're REALLY LOUD, but only at night when you're trying to sleep.

Cycling Career Highlights:
I got my semipro license the first year they had the category and raced the first semipro event at Helen GA. I raced for Slingshot, Wolf Creek, and regional Scott and Specialized teams. I raced collegiately for Lindsey Wilson College on a cycling scholarship (paid for school by riding a bike--nice).
3rd place 24 hours of Canaan 4-man team on two occasions.
24 hours of Moab didn't go as well...
Won some, lost more, had loads of fun, made lots of friends, hoping to pick it back up a that point.
Over the years I have been lucky in that I have had the opportunity to go all over the country, and outside the country, to get beaten by a lot of really fast people....Oh, and Gunnar too...
