Biking

I've been biking since I was 3 years old and have been in love with the entire idea of mountain biking ever since. It's thrilling and exciting but also calming and relaxing. Once in a while I enter this zone where it feels like every sense of mine fades away and I feel complete. 

Biking, skiing, and family time

Biking has always been a giant part of my life, so big in fact that I've been riding on 2 wheels since I was 3 years old. Biking has led me to believe that I can be capable of anything. I fell in love with mountain biking when I was younger because it always gave me a sense of relief from all stress and annoyance I've felt throughout my life. Skiing is very similar to biking because they both make me feel safe. I'm a self taught skier but I have taught others to ski including but not limited to my sister and 3 close friends. It may not sound like that big of a deal, but teaching 4 kids, by myself, how to ski properly between the ages of 8 and 14 is an incredible accomplishment. Something you should also know about me is that I will always put my family, friends, and loved ones above all else including money. You can always get more money but you can never get more time, so I need to spend time with everyone well I still can.
