Training for my Paralympic Dream is a full time job and took up most of my time, energy, and thought. But, when working towards that goal, I had to also find balance with my family. My family is my number one support throughout my cycling journey. Not only has my wife shared in the tragedy of me getting my spinal cord injury, she also shares any and all of my/our accomplishments that I may attain from racing. Now, I am...
People are often asking me about what my biggest takeaway was from my experience in Tokyo. I honestly have to say it was all of it. Even though this was a different Paralympics then any other Paralympics because of the worldly conditions, I made it a point to go there and enjoy every aspect of the experience.

Day 1 Finally flying out to a race for the first time in a year. I am very excited and very nervous at the same time. Along with getting ready for a race, I am preparing to leave my wife and 2 year old daughter for the first time in a year. They are just as excited and nervous as I am. Excited because I am finally racing after spending so many hours of so many days of the last year...

Name it and chances are I already thought ahead and had it all prepared when the time came. I am known to plan things ahead of time --unless...
Hey guys, For this year's PossAbilities triathlon I had the same goal as previous years --to make sure I beat Zimri! We developed this healthy rivalry, even though we're not in the same class. Tell you what, he kept me on my toes this year. For one, I wasn't training full time like before, but still had been going strong. The main fact is that Zim's new coach is a great athlete that I personally know and like, Jamie Brown. I knew...
Happy 2019 everyone, let's wish and work for a great year for all of us! Winter is my favorite season! Temps here are not too bad -enough where you can wear puffy jackets if you want; surf is up -my favorite waves light up; weather is great for training; there's rain -this year has been a great one, everything is green and water is gushing on creeks & falls! My snowboard journey has started, it is a moving process. All the parts...
