When did you start shaving your legs? Shaving cream or soap?
I started when I was 17 and a junior in high school, although I had shaved for swimming before cycling. I’ve switched between soap and shaving cream but usually just use soap now.

I specialize in races of attrition. I really enjoy the tactics involved with stage races and long one-day races.
What are your short-term and long-term cycling goals?
Short-term: podium in an NRC race
Long-term: t o get on the best pro team I can and race around the world
When you’re not on your bike, where can your friends expect to find you?
If I’m not with my friends, then I am at home or the beach.
