Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
I grew up in the Bronx, New York and live in Boston now.

How long have you been cycling, and what initially got you interested in the sport?
I enjoyed cycling ever since I was a kid.  My cycling was casual until 1999, when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and I decided to ride in the Pan Mass Challenge.

How long have you been a CRW member?
I joined CRW in 2000, I think.

How many miles do you typically ride per year?
I’ve ridden as many as 7,600 in a year, but now it’s probably closer to 5,000.
 
What is your greatest cycling accomplishment?
I raised more than $375,000 over the course of my PMC career,
 
What is your favorite route to ride?
Other than Italy, the South Shore Coastal Loop (SSCL).
 
What is your favorite post-ride food or drink?
After a long, hot summer ride, I very much enjoy a good beer.

What is your best advice for a new club member?
Try our all the different rides and decide what types of rides you like best.

In what capaciies have you volunteered for the club, and for how long?
I’ve twice been a board member for twice for a total of 12 years.  I’ve led or co-led the SSCL since 2005.

What led to you becoming a Ride Leader?
 I love the South Shore Coastal loop and when the current ride leader announced he was stepping down, I volunteered.

What rides are you planning on leading this year?
I lead the South Short Coastal Loop most Sundays between May and early October. We are looking for ride leader help for the SSCL. Ride Leaders that are interested in helping out can contact our VP of Rides at rides-vp@crw.org to get involved.

Anything else you want to share about yourself or cycling journey?
I will be retiring very soon and am looking to doing lots more riding with the club.
