1) How did you get into racing? After 10 years of competitive golf, I got bored and burned out and was introduced to mountain biking. I soon met some members of bike racing teams who encouraged me to race…framing it as an opportunity to ride new trails. After winning some beginner races, I was hooked. I’ve been racing ever since.
2) What is your favorite riding discipline and place to ride? I really can't choose. I love riding off road with the sense of accomplishment I get when I overcome an obstacle or a technical section. I really enjoy riding Wissihickon, especially in the fall foliage. I also really enjoy ‘Cross: the progress I'm making and the scene at the race weekends with the cheering, music, food, and beer.

1) How did you get into racing? Soon after purchasing my first mountain bike Cannondale approached me on racing for them. I wanted to keep it local and turned down the offer......ok that never happened. I already drank brews with most of the guys on the team, they invited me to be on the team.
2) What is your favorite riding discipline and place to ride? Mtn has been the only discipline I've raced so far. Favorite place would have to be anywhere with single track. Favorite race: Dark Horse 40.
3) Describe your bike setup. All Cannondale. Flash 2alloy; Carbon Super Six Rival; CAAD9.
4) Likely to find in your race bag. Food, tubes, tools, beer, extra gloves, and nude mags.
5) Favorite Dogfish Head beer. Aprihop cut with 90min.....so good.
6) Day job that supports your bike habit: Work for Royal Pest Solution
7) Favorite quote or other info you want to share: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a ride!’” - Hunter S. Thompson

Nickname: Coop – people say I look like Anderson Cooper, but I just don’t see it.
1) How did you get into racing? I got into mountain biking back in 1999 when I lived next to Fair Hill. I stopped riding to take up triathlons for a few years. Once I got tired of the rising entry fees and having to pre-register 6 months in advance to secure a spot for a race I decided to start mountain biking again. Met some cool people on WWR team and heard they had a great beer sponsor, so signed up!
