I <3 CYCLING: I love the cycling community in Memphis and the friendships that you can make riding next to someone, even just for a few miles.
BUCKET LIST: I just want to be able to continue being a part of the cycling community for as long as I can. Holding onto the wheel in front of you for extended periods when you think you are too tired to make one more pedal stroke is a great life lesson for other challenges that we all face on a day-to-day basis.
FAVE FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: My favorite is making it to Rosemary Beach on my bike for the first time after watching good friends do the ride for years.
HOMETOWN: Memphis, TN
SPEED BUMPS: Life often gets in the way of training, but with the support of my family and friends, I have found a way to keep riding enough to complete my rides.
MY GROUP: Ride2Rosemary
FAVORITE JAMS: Apple Radio always seems to work for me.
I enjoy listening to country music while riding because the lyrics always make me laugh and take my mind off the burning in my legs.
RECENT RACES: I just finished the annual Ride2Rosemary from Memphis to Rosemary Beach, FL. The ride is 525 miles over five days.
MOST MEMORABLE FITNESS EVENT: Every time I complete a century ride!
BEST EATS: Erling Jensen and anything on the menu works
for me.
DREAM DINNER COMPANY: Adam, to ask him to compare life in the Garden of Eden before and after he and Eve ate the apple.
GO-TO GEAR: My new ENVE Fray!
INSPIRATION TO BE FIT: I want to stay healthy for my wife and children so that I can be there for them for years to come.
ON MY NIGHTSTAND: “Atomic Habits” by James Clear
PET PEEVE: Angry motorists that hate cyclists!
