My life has been a series of accidental discoveries. First, I discovered cycling through a soccer injury. Pedaling was my rehab, so I was kind of forced into it. Then, I discovered Zwift through the pandemic. With all the races cancelled and no traveling allowed, I had no choice but the indoor trainer. And I’m way too competitive to not race.

I went to school for Exercise Science, but I’m currently a writer for Velonews, Cyclingnews, TrainingPeaks, and others. I started blogging during college when I was traveling and racing for nine months out of the year. When all that went away, I tried this indoor cycling game that I’d been hearing about for years. Everyone always said “It totally sucks,” and “It’s the hardest racing I’ve ever done.” So as a certified masochist, I knew I had to try it.

A year later, I was scrambling to find a team ahead of the inaugural Zwift Premier League. I sent messages to everyone, but no takers. Eventually, I received an Instagram DM from a guy named Brian Duffy, Jr. Boy am I glad I accepted the request. I’ve been having fun ever since, racing with NeXT and now dominating the Premier League, it’s been a surreal experience.
