50 Years Strong

RELENTLESS

Born to Move, Built to Endure

Movement has been my first love since before I could walk—whether it was swimming, biking, or
just being outside. At 10, my first road bike gave me freedom. At 19, I discovered mountain biking,
turning the trails into my playground. By the early 2000s, I was racing across the Southwest,
pushing my limits and chasing bigger goals.

Then, in 2005, everything changed—a traumatic brain injury forced me to step away from competition.
But movement always finds a way back. Running became my new challenge, a simpler but equally
relentless pursuit. In 2023, I tackled what they say is the hardest trail half marathon of the Pacific,
reigniting my love for endurance.

Now, at 50, I'm training for my biggest goal yet: the UTMB.
The journey isn’t over—it’s just hitting its next peak. Every step, every race, every challenge
keeps me moving forward.

  • From 1997 to 2005, I dominated the cross-country mountain biking scene, taking first place in every race I entered—including NORBA Nationals, the Four Corners Series, and local races across Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, and Utah. Training with Jacquie Phelan’s WOMBATs crew pushed my skills and confidence to the next level, shaping me into the racer I am today.
