At 285 lbs, I started riding to lose weight and quickly fell in love with the sport. After finishing with the front group on my first ride on a road bike, I quickly found out I had some kind of talent. After hearing many Team Louisville members bug me for a year to try racing, I gave in, joined Team Louisville, and started racing in 2006. I got second my first race followed by a win the very next weekend. After numerous wins that year and all top 10's, I moved on to Bolla Cycling Team and moved up to a Cat 4. In 2007 I continued my streak of wins and top 10's and was hanging with the 1/2/3 races. I went from a cat 4 to a cat 2 that year. In 2009 I was still on Bolla but was unable to continue my streak in the Cat 1/2 races. Due to very few results, I got kicked off Bolla. I later found out I have severe asthma and allergies. Thanks to a close friend, I was given the opportunity to race for Texas Roadhouse. I worked through 2009 to control my asthma but was still unable to produce any results. That brings me back to my home, Team Louisville, where I am hoping to get back to having fun.
