“Howdy, as a mechanic in training, turned racer, turned commuter, turned parts bin builder and bike advocate, I believe that cycling changes lives. In day to day life, cycling provides fitness, transportation, and importantly connects people of all backgrounds. My day to day life involves teaching community pottery classes where I have the good fortune of interacting with students from around the world. While sport comes second to work, I love all things cycling from mountain bikes to touring to gravel grinding. I believe the contemporary world of cycling is rich with opportunity that should involve anyone inspired to participate in the sport. I hope to be that person that helps others stay inspired to be involved with cycling, whether it be fixing a neighborhood kids bike, mellow riding, sport, transportation or a passionate collector. My recent interest involves the intersection of my love for pottery intertwined with my love for cycling. See you out there!”
