How did you get into cycling? Somehow I got into triathlon and one day I realized that it was not OK to ride a bicycle in a Speedo. I raced my first early bird crit (in bike shorts and a jersey) and was hooked.

What's your greatest accomplishment in cycling? My greatest accomplishment in bike racing has been and continues to be racing for and representing the RH Villa team. To see it grow and continue to evolve motivates me on and off the bike. The people that I have met racing and friends I have made through the team are family to me, that's really what I am the most proud of.

What do you do when you're not on the bike? I get ready to get back on my bike!
