We all go through a series of events in our lives that may change our initial path or influence our views and desires for our future. In 2011, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She is now a cancer survivor and a true warrior. She has inspired me to view my life in an entirely different way. Time is precious and life is beautiful. She inspired me to do more, be more. At age 23, I chose to step out of my comfort zone and pursue something risky. I wanted to spend my days doing something that made me feel alive, something that made me feel like I had a sense of purpose and that I was working toward something that stirred my passion. I bought my first mtb in my early twenties and took on the challenge to learn something new. I quit a stable career so that I could travel, meet new people, and discover more of the world. Biking quickly became an obsession. At the time, it changed my life and gave me a different focus. Not only did my mom inspire me to become fearless and motivated to take on new challenges, but she showed me how to value life. This world is filled with endless opportunities and it’s on us as individuals to create a path that makes us happy and to take on a journey that motivates us to be more and achieve higher goals. For the past three years I have been fortunate enough to live this dream of becoming a professional mountain biker. I not only want to be a racer and achieve personal goals, but I also want to inspire others around me to take risks because no matter who you are, where your from, man or women, young or old, what ever diversity you bring to the table, you can achieve whatever you put your mind to. So, ask yourself, am I happy with what I am doing today? Find your passion and follow it.
