I was the younger brother who always wanted to hang out with the old kids. They got into biking and I got a paper route to save up to get my first bike. I knew it was what I wanted to do as soon as I got on that first Norco Sasquatch at 12 years old.

Peru, 14,500 ft up and in the middle of nowhere. Snow, rain, glaciers and the most amazing trip ever. So far ...

I would have to say British Columbia. May just be home and embedded in my heart, but there is nothing like it.

It's my freedom. It takes me to remote locations away from cell service and has made me the person I am today. Biking introduced me to some of the coolest and remarkable people on this planet.

For me, #ridebeyond is a perfect short answer for my passion. It means to push your comfort levels, get out of your safe zone, progress your skills and explore the unknown.

To me, my greatest success has been to live my life around bikes and an outdoor lifestyle. It is my goal, dream, passion and life.

So far, the FOCUS SAM has been my favourite. Such an aggressive and playful bike. Perfect for my style of riding. Climbs like an animal also.

Haters gonna hate ... You can't please everyone. Personally, I have had a lot of fun on Ebikes and I think people should try them before making an opinion.

The ability to play in the snow and dirt in the same day.

The sense of adventure, exploration and learning.

Dressed appropriately and out in the middle of it, whether it be on bikes, skis or hiking around.

I'm stubborn, I don't enjoy cities or partying as much as them. I enjoy being in harms way, too spontaneous: I don't like to plan, just wing it.
