As a kid at age 5 I have always been on the move. My parents always telling me "Can't you sit still for 5 minutes". I would get up from dinner and immediately hop on the BMX bike and search for for the biggest dirt Pyle I could fined and build jumps. From that point I raced BMX and have had countless cuts and bruises. Even now! (those never seem to go away). Through the years I have always been on some sort of bike. The Past 5 years I have raced road bikes around the area starting out as a beginner(cat 5) and quickly upgrading to cat 3. Until the last couple of years I turned my focus to something more challenging Triathlons! Since then I have competed in a few and ran my first Marathon in Pittsburgh in 2009 and qualified for the 2010 Boston Marathon. Know having the opportunity to be part of Ballou Skies and race for something far more satisfying than anything I ever have before. I am greatful to be able to.
