I was first introduced to a bicycle while riding on my dad’s handlebars when I was 3 years old in Chihuahua, Mexico. I loved every single moment of it and grew up experiencing the freedom of exploring Mexico on two wheels with my dad and brother. Cycling has allowed me to travel the world and meet so many amazing people through racing and training. I currently live in Golden, Colorado. When I’m not working at TrainingPeaks or helping buyers find their dream home, you can find me flying down the roads or trails with my dog, Fito Loquito.
