I graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in genetics. During my undergraduate term I studied DNA structure and helped to determine the shape of specific strands of DNA. College was also my transition from overweight smoker to a cyclist. I used my science background to delve into the biomechanics of cycling and the process of training. I studied such cycling dignitaries as Eddy B., Greg Lemond, Chris Carmichael, and Joe Friel. I became a certified coach and have helped a few others get much faster than I ever was. All along, I was fascinated with improving the biomechanics of cycling and when I met Scott, I saw that he had something that was truly special. I am excited to be a part of this and I appreciate the clientele and their support of our product. As I always think and occasionally say, "It is our clients who make us successful".
