I am working to promote a healthier Spartanburg because: I count myself as really lucky to have been able to discover an activity (cycling) at a young age that has captured my passion and helped keep me active & healthy ever since. I'm excited to have a chance to help create spaces and facilities for others to find or maintain their own healthy passion and connection to nature.

My favorite form of physical activity: Riding a bike - usually a mountain bike, but any type of bike ride is likely to put a smile on my face.

I love Spartanburg because: It's already a great little hidden gem, but it also has this palpable momentum and potential that I'm excited to be fortunate enough to see unfold first-hand.

Other community interests or involvement: Friends of Duncan Park, SAMBA

And something random: Take one bite of a banana, then take a short swig of chocolate milk. Then repeat.

Might be the best snack combination ever. Try it and spread the word!
