I started my athletic career like many kids in Southern California.  My parents tried me in most of the big sports: Baseball, Soccer, Roller Hockey, Ice Hockey, Swimming and Taekwondo.   After I learned that I was not cut out for any of those sports, I tried a couple Triathlons.  From my Triathlon experience I decided to focus on Cycling.  I tried my first Time Trial when I was twelve and after that I was hooked.  I have been racing and loving it ever since.
