| Career goal | Achieved |
| Favorite race | Revenge of the Siskiyous, circa 1990. The first time I beat my Old Man, one of my best performances to date. |
| Favorite place to ride | On a MTB, Sedona, AZ. On a road bike, Mallorca. On a gravel bike, anywhere I haven’t ridden yet. |
| First bike | Old Blue - a BMX bike my dad built from spare parts |
| Favorite bike | My first Anthem 29er. So many memories. |
| Favorite training bike | It would probably be my Revolt, as that's the one that I ride the most. With 40c or wider tires I can have fun getting lost on just about any road or trail I encounter near my home in Central Oregon. |

| Favorite quote | "Racing is life. Everything that happens before or after is just waiting." - Steve McQueen |
