INTERESTS & HOBBIES

I love sports and the outdoors. I am an avid mountain biker currently racing gravity events,  (Downhill and Enduro) but I have raced (and earned podiums) in most cycling disciplines. I also run, (I have completed only one full marathon) hike and gym. I am always up for an adventure. I coach part time as I love helping people. Four of the kids that I coach have achieved WP colours. I have 3 teenage boys (16, 18, 20 years) who are very into health and fitness, so if I am not running or hitting the gym, I am racing downhills on our bikes.

I also enjoy painting, drawing, photography and film.

Thank You
