About Me:

I’m the Editor at Cyclocross Magazine. I also run a marketing biz for sustainable companies/small businesses on the side.

I’ve been riding/racing since my collegiate cycling days at Cal Poly – started riding in 2001. Changed my life for the positive.

If I’m not on my bike, I’m probably on the trails running. Basically, my motto could be summed up thus: I heart singletrack and mud.

Current Bike Collection:

Voodoo Limba ‘Cross
Santa Cruz Blur XC Carbon

Favorite Race:

The Little 500 in SLO-town (lesser known, perhaps – it’s a “different” kind of ‘cross race, let’s say …)

Dream Bike:

Well, it would have to be a custom one – can’t beat the fit of a custom rig, can you? But if I had to “settle,” I’d go for a Scott Addict CX …

Favorite thing about cyclocross:

The fact that it’s not uptight like road racing, you’re not likely to break everything like in a mt. bike race, and you may just get a beer handout during your race.

How long have you been racing cyclocross?

Well, ha ha – been “riding” ‘cross since 2008, I have yet to race – though that will soon change.
