about me


I've been living in Texas since i was born. I used to live in Southlake but, then moved to Argyle in the 4th grade. In 7th grade i ran track and played football. During the summer after 7th grade i took a bit of a tumble down a mountain and shattered my femur. I had an external fixator on my left leg for 7 months. While in the hospital there wasnt anything on tv interesting to me except for the tour de france. I figured riding a road bike on a trainer would get me back in shape for track and football.But when i fell i got a bad concussion so my parents wouldnt let me play. I tried to run track a little to early in the eight grade. My quads were still uneven and my left leg was a bit shorter. It was uncomfortable and didnt feel right to run. So i got on my bike and started riding. I didn't really get into roadbiking all that much until i went back to colorado for the summer. I did the Durango to Silverton ride. After i finished the climbing and descending to Silverton, i was hooked. When i got back to Texas, my mom looked for a good club so i could get more experience. She found Nathans club and talked to him. after awhile, i started training with him. I am so grateful to be able to be trained by Nathan and to be around more expierienced riders and be a part of a really awesome team.
