What's your day job? What's your passion?
I'm a crisis intake worker at St. Joe's hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. I also work for the Life Time Fitness Group cycling department. My passion is living a healthy lifestyle and balancing work, family, happiness and good health. I love empowering others to empower themselves.
What makes you a KÜHL Kid? How do you live the Mountain Culture?
I thrive on all outdoor challenges that test my physical and emotional strengths.
What's your most memorable adventure?
All of the 3-7 day bike challenges, 24-hour team challenges and adventure races I've done.
Who inspires you?
There isn't one single person. It's mainly those that empower themselves not to waste the opportunities that lie ahead! What inspires me is taking a chance on something that is beyond my comfort zone.
What's your favorite piece of gear?
Bikes!
What's your worst habit?
Espresso. Lots of Espresso. Not sure it’s a bad habit...I think of it more as a food group!
What song makes you most stoked to play hard?
Anything that’s aggressive and up-beat.
What’s your favorite food and drink after an adventure?
When it’s hot, a Cold Coca-Cola and some pizza.
Best way to end a first date?
Planning for a 2nd one.
What’s hot/what’s not?
By the time I come up with what’s HOT, it’s NOT.
What's the worst injury you sustained from adventuring and how did you recover?
I had BAD crash at the 2015 Leadville Mtb Bike Race. I put my energy into/ focused on things I COULD do rather than COULDN’T do.
