HOW DID YOU GET INTO MT. BIKING:  My dad bought me an Iron Horse XC bike and I started racing when I was 11. It just snowballed from there. I signed with Cannondale at age 18. I hit some kickers and the rest is history.

FAVORITE RACE OR CONTEST: Claymore Challenge at Highland Mountain Bike Park for sure, hands down.

BEST PLACE RIDING HAS TAKEN YOU:  This little village in Italy, it was the most spectacular place I have seen, also 3 weeks living in a cave with McCaul and Claw in Turkey. That was sweet too.
