In My Own Words
I spend my off-season doing:  Imitating Christopher Walken, studying for class, asking Norton how to do my job.
My goals and expectations for 2010 are:  Support the team, get on the podium, start a lead out which shreds the field.
I started racing because: The chamois is so comfy, why else?
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be:  Climbing Cherohala Skyway and Blue Ridge Parkway.
My cycling mentors and/or influences are: Teammates, family, and mental narration courtesy of Phil Liggett.
The on thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again:  Ruin somebody ELSE’S powertap wheel…  Oops.
When I’m not on my bike, I like to: Study, watch the stars, play music, read and enjoy good beer with good company.
