I've competed in athletics ever since I was a kid- thanks to Mom/Dad who encouraged me to get involved in sports.  When I was age 10 thru 14 I played Basketball, Baseball and also Swam competitively.  In Jr. High School/Middle School it was Football, Basketball and Baseball.  In High School it was Football, Basketball and Track.  In College, it was Ski Instructing and Ski Racing and Track/Field.

After college I raced my Field Champion Dog Kali, Tournament Fished and Tournament Golfed..getting down to a 9 hdcp (that's me at the Masters, #12 in the background, on right). Then on to Triathlons until I herniated two discs in my back (on a Scuba Diving trip of all things) which stopped the running.  I decided to concentrate on the bike instead and race (I'm Cat 4 pack fodder).

In addition to bike racing, I'm a USA Cycling Certified Level II Coach and Offiical.
