Some call me "Dudes."
Struggle answering questions like "what do you do?" and "where do you live?"
Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes taught me that anything can change in an instant. This has caused me to say "yes" to many challenges and adventures around the world.

Inspiration to ride further in 2021. Rue is an adventure filmmaker who inspires me. Lael is the most badass ultra-endurance cyclist who always smiles for herself and others. True dream team.

A YEAR where FAMILY TIME is about the ONLY GOOD THING. What was one highlight for you?
My dad asked, "Want to go sledding?"
My external hard drives seemed to hear him and instantly disconnected.
Together, we learned that plastic does get brittle after being in the garage for 10 years 😂
