When did you start unicycling and why:

Back in 2005, my brother and I decided we would get a little unicycle for my dad for Father’s Day. He rode it only a little, so I started riding it. That Christmas my dad got me a 24” Muni. Sometime that winter I discovered the Moab Muni Fest website and that spring I went and met Kris Holm. The rest pretty much follows.

Why do you like to ride:

Unicycling to me is the epitome of fun. It can be done anywhere and anytime and it also provides opportunities to travel, meet new people, invent new tricks and progress the sport.

Other Interests:

Telemark Skiing, Science, Trials Biking, Wearing Pants.

Any Words of wisdom:

When in doubt, jump higher. But have fun.
