Athletes talk
Words to live by / Personal mantra
Be Brave. Do Epic Shit. I am fueled by growth and feel the most alive when I am having new experiences and taking on new challenges. It can be on the bike, in my business (core values are positive mindset, healthy body, curiositiy, and enthusiasm), or even in my relationships. Our lives have the most substance when we take ourselves off auto-pilot and start trying things that we want to do.
What "No Shortcuts" means to you
It takes commitment, perseverance, and hard work to achieve anything that's meaningful. No Shortcuts means to get your hands dirty and go after what you want; to enjoy the process of what you are doing because the work that you do is what helps define you, not the end goal.
Three things you always pack
A book, an external battery pack, licorice tea
How I relax
I'll relax any day now! I love reading books, spending time with friends, and playing the guitar and singing.
Favorite place to ride (or run or ski depending of your sport)
