About me

Gender Male
Location Denver, CO, United States
Introduction I'm a 30 something outdoor junkie, who struggles to accept a 9-5 (I wish) corporate job. My goal in life is to have as much fun as possible, live today like there is no tomorrow, and enjoy every possible moment with my wife Jaime, my dog Tucker, and my friends. I love training to get fitter and faster in the sport of Xterra. My "best day" starts in a tent outside of any remote mountain town, followed by breakfast cooked at camp. By early morning I'm on my bike with some great company, riding epic singletrack under bluebird skies all day to a places of unspeakable beauty. The day ends around a campfire without a worry in the world, and a feeling that there wasn't a moment wasted on meaningless BS during the day. It was lived for the moment, in the moment, but it will last forever.
