I’m a 2015 rider. I have one more year before the wheels start rotating towards Anchorage. I wish the best of luck to 2014. But I feel my ride already began last semester. Certainly the summer offers time and good weather. I’ve already learned so much. I began by contacting the Fort Worth Kiwanis club, whom […]

The craziness of preparing for the ride has definitely set in, yet I’m so excited that it is about to start. I can’t believe that is has been 18 months since I first started Texas 4000, and now the first day is literally three days away. Over the past week I have spent hours on […]

I woke up for the first time with a sense of belonging. I woke up with a sense of purpose. Today, I woke up to BEGIN MY OWN JOURNEY.

It’s human nature to want to make an impact in whatever you do. We all want to be remembered in some way, to leave things better than when we found it. Since joining Texas 4000, I’ve been searching for my way to do that. Planning routes and programs are all great and jobs, but not […]

In a little less than a month, medical school applications will open. In a little less than two months, I will be biking to Alaska. The two biggest things to ever happen in my life are so close I feel a great sense of accomplishment and fear. My sense of accomplishment stems from raising money […]

There’s a song I once heard that really struck a chord with me. Annie by Vanessa Carlton/Vanessa Carlton on Grooveshark In between the ecstatic piano riffs is a really sobering story of a young girl dying of an unnamed disease. The songwriter met this particular young girl while on tour, and I guess it left […]

I feel like so much has happened that I don’t know where to start. I’ll begin with my Spring Break ride. It was a good three days. We did about 150 miles. Our first day was less than ideal with the wind and rain we had to ride through, but it made getting to that […]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s been awhile. In the past few months a lot of shit has happened. Here are some numbers with some text explaining what has happened: 1. Spring Break Ride. 50 miles in the pouring rain and cold. 60 miles in some cold and some sunshine. And another 45ish in the sunshine. It […]
