I was born in Salt Lake City and spent many of my younger years living in different states around the country, I even graduated from High School in Mexico City.
A year and a half after Ronnie and I got married we moved to Utah. I began cycling, both road and mountain biking after I had my ACL replaced. I spent many years riding the trails in Moab, 5 mile pass (in the winter time), and the canyons around the valley. Several of our daughters began mountain biking with me.
We have lived in Riverton for the past 32 years, have five daughters and spent many years vacationing with the girls in Colorado and Moab, first riding and hiking trails on bicycles and then with our truck. We started 4 wheeling with our Toyota T100 in Moab and drive trails like Hells Revenge, Baby Lions Back, Gemini Bridges, Poison Spider. I quickly learned if I got out of the drivers seat to check the terrain, and Ronnie would slip into the driver seat and refuse to move back over, I then became the spotter. During the summer of 2020, we rented a side by side which we took out to 5 mile pass, and decided we wanted one of own. In September 2020 we bought our first Talon. Ronnie won another side by side in September 2023 and decided to upgrade our Talon with a new one.
We love riding with the club, and we attend several Jamborees.
