| Currently preparing for the ARWC! Can't wait.
I'm 29 years old, living here in Nashille, TN. I moved here 7 years ago to pursue a career in music. After 4 years in music, I changed career path, and am about to graduate from Belmont University with a degree in Exercise Science.
In October, I will be returning to Dublin, Ireland to keep up my 'eternal student status' and study Physiotherapy at the Royal College of Surgeons.
I started Adventure Racing five 'ish' years ago after seeing Eco Challenge Borneo. I have been racing ever since.
