I got the free Firenze 18 speed mountain bike when my dad got his car stereo from Matthew’s top of the hill in Daly City.  I started working at the local shop in Pacifica when I was a grom and have been riding ever since.

What was your worst sports related injury, and how did you get it?

I broke my wrist and sprained my other one in my first DH race at Lake Baryessa, got 32 stitches in my knee when I spudded and hit it on a rock in Oroville.  I still finished the race in 4th.  Separated shoulder  and double dislocated finger at Sand Hill.
