CURRENT MISSION

Do what I love and love what I do

ABOUT ME

I can fly. Enough said!

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play hard. There was a phenomenal runner, Steve Prefontaine, that said something pretty neat, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I've been hit by a semi-truck while riding my bicycle... and lived!

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

From many years of racing and working as a mechanic, I can build and repair any bicycle. Plus, I learned some cool things from other teams about recovering from hard work outs. So, after a long day of riding, running, or just plain working out, I know a few tricks. My favorite skill from those years is some of the snacks that I would cook (like my cheese bread) and eat while the main course was being prepared.
