When I did not make it in professional baseball, I needed something to keep me in shape. My brother was a semi-pro triathlete at the time. He gave me one of his old bikes, and I was hooked.

I got into the sport initially as a training tool to stay fit. I always had a respect for it just never knew much about the actual tactics of racing road. Once I started learning how to race, I was hooked.
Competition and speed motivate me.

I first started racing bikes for the University of Kentucky. I did one citizens race and then a 4/5 crit and I couldn't get enough! I have been racing ever since and loving every minute of it. Cycling allows me to keep my competitve juices flowing and stay in shape. I used to be a runner but after I found cycling there has been no turning back!

I did a lot of long-distance riding during high school and college years, but life took over and the bike waited patiently for twenty years. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2007, I decided to take care of myself and rekindled the cycling flame. After many outings with the LBC, I discovered that I really liked the speed and excitement of racing and was given the chance to join BC/TL as a racer.

I like that invincible feeling of super-fitness. I live for those moments where the body says "no," but the mind pushes on. I long for the simplicity of turning pedals and moving forward.

I started riding in 2001 for fitness, but the birth of my son in 2005 and the process of Ph.D. work derailed my attempts. I started riding again in 2007 and lost 152 lbs in the process over 9 months.

Started road racing in 1984 then life intervened. Return to riding off road in my thirties, then began racing cyclocross again at 38. Joined the team and returned to racing in 2007.
