Most Memorable Moments:

"Becoming the 2006 World Hillclimb Champion.  This meant a lot to me because it was by far the most impossible looking hill I have ever seen.  I wanted to go over so bad in 2004, but I couldn’t make it happen.  2006 came around, I was the seventh rider of the day and went over on my very first ride.  That was the most incredible feeling I’ve ever experienced and I’ve never had the chills so bad in my life. It was awesome!

Every road trip I take with my friends seems to bring good memories."

Comments:

"Hillclimbing has given me numerous amounts of opportunities to travel the world with my best friends and family.  We put so much work and effort into this sport and our team.  I would definitely like to thank my family for everything they do."
