Q: What do you love about Reno? 

A: I love the easy access to world class recreation. The fact that I can walk out my door and be “lost” in minutes is such a gift. I love the light here. The way our sunrises bounce light off the mountains and our sunsets bathe the basin with warm light that changes with every season is amazing.

Q: Tell us something that might surprise our readers.

A: Ok, I said I liked riding bikes but that’s a little bit of an understatement. I was a professional cyclist for 10 years, won a Professional World Championship, 17 National Championships, and was incredibly fortunate to compete in two Olympics as a member of the US Olympic Team. I’m also in the US Cycling Hall of Fame.
