I’ve been a pretty obsessive mountain biker since the age of 14. Riding in the mountains is just something I do, and plan to keep doing as long as I’m able.
The rides have been getting longer and more challenging as the years go by. Recently the focus has been multi-day self supported racing (Great Divide Race, The Arizona Trail, etc), now it is exploring new singletrack routes on bikepacking trips.
When not riding:
I’m working towards my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Arizona. Slowly, but surely, I’ll graduate one day and maybe face the possibility of holding a “real” job. Whatever “real” means.
I’m the principal author of the GPS Mapping Software, TopoFusion, a company I’ve purposefully kept small and sustainable. Simply put, I love my company and my software.
I recently started a site about bike camping / adventuring called bikepacking.net. Sometimes I contribute articles to magazines like Tail Winds. Sometimes I head out for a day of trail layout, mapping or building. No day is ever quite the same, and I like it that way.
Home base: Tucson, AZ
Thanks for reading.
