I was born to a comfortable yet blue collar middle class family.  The oldest of 5 kids with numerous pets and loving relatives.  I moved alot as a child and recieved a decent and diverse education both formal and school of life. I share my life with the most wonderful woman on earth and our great kids.  
I love riding in this race because of the great scenery, challenging terrain and overall fun of the event.  I also love the fact that the night is dark and dark is slimming which helps my self esteem.
