President

Q:  How long have you been associated with the league and in what capacity?

A:  I’ve been an assistant coach and then head coach for the Yakima Composite team since 2019.

Q:  What are a couple of your favorite Mt. Bike Trails?

A:  Chest Pains (Manastash Ridge trail system in Ellensburg) and the Little Bald trail (AKA Trail 961) off Hwy. 410

Q:  Have you or do you have kids in the league?

A: I do not have any kids in the league. 

Q:  What is your favorite thing about the league?

A:  Not all kids like and want to participate in the traditional “ball sports” offered in schools. My favorite thing about the league is how the league gives those kids the opportunity to participate in a non-traditional, “no ball” sport that allows them to compete and gain an appreciation for exercise and the outdoors.

Q. Can you give us one random fact about yourself?

A. I’ve hiked the entire Appalachian Trail.

Q. What big biking adventure would you like to do?

A. I’d like to bike pack the whole Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (I’ve already ridden the Canadian section).
