About:

I’m a fourth year Mechanical Engineering student at UT. I love live music, driving through the hill country, singing at the top of my lungs (when nobody else is around), going dancing, and hanging out with my entertaining family. Any spare time I have is spent doing one of the things already listed, making people laugh, or reading a good book. I try to spend a lot of time helping other people because I like seeing happy people.
I heard about Texas4000 when I was still in high school and one of my sister’s friends said he was going to ride his bike to Alaska. First thought: “He’s crazy.” Then, I found out it was for cancer research and education and since then, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make it possible for me to do this ride. I’ve been passionate about raising funds for cancer since my grandfather was diagnosed my sophomore year in high school and cancer became a very real thing in my life. I’m tired of seeing the negative effect cancer has on people’s lives and I will do anything I can to have a positive impact on the cancer community.

Why I Ride

Cancer has affected some of the most incredible people I know. To try to articulate their impact on my life would be impossible. We each know these people though: the man who always treated you like family even though you weren't, the woman who was always there for her family and community, the grandfathers who taught you how to fish and thus, also taught you patience, and the grandmas who taught you discipline. I ride for those people.
