When did you first start riding and how did you get into it?


I did my first triathlon back in 2007 near my hometown in Ontario and was hooked on the sport instantly. When I moved to Panorama in 2013, I discovered that mountain biking was WAY more fun than grinding it out on the road day after day, so I started doing some off-road triathlons and have loved the adventure and challenge of building my mountain biking skills over the last few years. And I’m now proud to say I spend a lot more time on the trails than the road!


Where do you call home?

Favourite trail?


There are too many good ones to pick!! But my favourite local trail is probably South Park at Mt. Swansea, so fun and flowy.
