Athlete talk

Words to live by / Personal mantra     

Evolve or Die.

What "No Shortcuts" means to you    

Most people have the will to win, but most people don’t have the will to prepare to win. Winning happens every day, in the work that’s put in months and weeks before any competition. It’s a lifestyle, not a race weekend attitude. No shortcuts!

Three things you always pack 

Sunglasses, watch and my music.

How I relax      

Mostly on the farm with my dogs! I absolutely love this process and I enjoy interactions with amateur riders at my moto park Big Rock.

Favorite place to ride (or run or ski depending of your sport)

Will have to be the Dunes in the desert. I have begun to love Morocco!
