I grew up riding mountain bikes, dirt bikes, and skiing with my dad and brother. Like most kids, I was initially drawn to the more gravity-focused sides of those sports, but that slowly began to shift during my college years out in Colorado.

Soon enough, I stopped dreading the climb to the top and began looking forward to it. After graduating I started racing mountain bikes in the Summer and skimo in the Winter, but it took me years working my way up the endurance food chain before reaching a top level.

A decade later I've racked up 17 national titles and been a member of the US National Team since 2013. I split my time between the domestic and international race scenes during the Winter, and show up at the occasional MTB race during the Summer.

I also founded Strafe with my brother Pete back in 2010, and have three little kids with my beautiful and endlessly patient wife Katherine that we raise in Aspen. It all makes for a busy program, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

The Feed High Performance Team, 2022 Winter National Cup Overall Champion

Over the last few years The Feed had already become my one-stop-shop for all my fueling and recovery needs. With a history of minor injuries, I've found it incredibly important to tick all the boxes and take care of myself on and off the mountain if I want to perform at the highest level, and The Feed has made it easy to dial in my program. The resources they make available to privateer athletes such as myself is unparalleled, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to represent and hopefully take my racing to a new heights.
