Goals:
Win. Help my team win. Podium a UCI race.

Hobbies:
I love cooking, reading, writing, mountain biking, and coming up with ideas that really help humanity, like airbags for an iphone.

Best memory on the bike:
This is such a hard question! Watching Ty and Oscar win stages at the Tour of China last year was pretty special. However, my best memory was out sprinting Brad Huff to win the Giro Della Montagne at Gateway Cup. I passed Brad and Chris Uberti in the final 25 meters and when I crossed the finish line, I couldn't believe what had happened. It took me some time before I raised my arms and screamed. I didn't stop until I went to bed that night.

Best advice you were ever given?
Don't ever give up. Because when you do, it becomes easier the next time - Toby Stanton.

Who eats the most on the team?
Probably me. I love eating good food.

If you could spend the day with anyone in the world, who would it be?
Kate Middleton. She is the most beautiful woman in the world. Since she's taken though, I'd have her introduce me to her sister's, if she has any.
