I am a rising sophomore at Middlebury college in Vermont and a member of the varsity Nordic ski team as well as the club cycling team. Outside of training for Nordic I am a mechanic at open range cycles in the summers and love to explore the Tetons and big holes both on foot and on my mountain bike. This summer I am looking forward to racing the Pierre’s Hole MTB race and exploring some new zones in the Tetons.
