My family always encouraged me to give 110% in all I do. Growing up with two older brothers as healthy competition, I ran track and cross country, swam in water polo, played soccer, and often biked to/from the beach on weekends. My parents then suggested I do triathlons. Many moons and training sessions later, I can say I'm hooked for life. Nowhere else will you find a more welcoming, fun, energetic, and wholesome community of athletes. My passion for triathlon is stronger than ever as I continue to qualify for World Championship races. My goal is to break into the most elite levels, competing as a pro triathlete on a world championship stage, a dream I've had since I was little.
