  • Bio
    In high school, I competed in gymnastics and was involved in martial arts. One of my coaches was an avid triathlete and suggested that when I retired from gymnastics, I shoud check out triathlons. Well, it is now my 4th year at Davis and I'm finally doing it!
    For the past 4 years, I've worked as a whitewater raft guide on Northern California rivers. I love whitewater kayaking, backpacking, horseback riding, and back country skiing. I also enjoy gardening and construction projects; basically, I like doing projects where I can get dirty because I love the long showers afterwards!
    I live on campus in a student cooperative called The Domes, formally known as Baggins End. If you don't know what or where The Domes are and are the least bit curious, give me a call and/or stop by. I live in Dome 6 and visitors are always welcome!
    Well, time to go for a run. See all of you soon!
