Biography
After dedicating 33 years of service as a firefighter, my journey has always been fueled by passion and perseverance—both on the job and on two wheels. My love for cycling began as a child, and in my teens I started racing BMX bikes, then moved to MTB racing, which ultimately led me into road racing. Over the years, the thrill of competition and the camaraderie of the cycling community became an essential part of my life.
I’ve been honored to compete and medal at several Can-Am Police & Fire Games and proudly earned a Bronze medal in the Time Trial at the 2015 World Police & Fire Games. At the close of the 2017 season, life’s challenges prompted me to step away from racing and focus on personal matters.
But in 2025, after rediscovering the positive impact cycling has always had on my life, I returned to the sport with renewed determination. Now, I’m back in training and setting my sights on the World Police & Fire Games in Perth, Australia. Join me as I chase new goals and share the next chapter of my cycling journey!
