| Since my Tour du Canada, I've completed an undergrad Business degree at the
University of New Brunswick as
well as a Multimedia program at Humber College. After a
few years of Ontario living, I'm back in my hometown of Saint John, New Brunswick. I run a small web design firm called
Open Road Designs,
the name for which comes from my passion for cycling. |

| I am part of a fairly large family by today's standards as the youngest of five children. My parents
and siblings were tremendously supportive of this venture from start to finish. I couldn't have done it without them. I'm now 28
and I still love my bike, but I don't ride it every day like I used to. The first couple of years after the Tour I trained for
the local club races; the short time trials suited me well. Since then I've concentrated more on running - a little variety goes
a long way. |

| It seems to me that the Tour du Canada is something that most people admire, but would never attempt. People think that it takes some sort of superhuman ability to get through it. The truth is that anyone with a passion for cycling, mental stamina, a positive attitude and a reliable bike is capable of going coast to coast. Even with all of that, it will be one of the hardest things you will ever do. You have to want it bad enough to take every day in stride - whether you're facing rain, wind, extreme heat or enormous hills. You'll have to demand a lot of yourself each day, but the friendships you form and the confidence you gain along the way will help you get through it step by step, or in this case - pedal stroke by pedal stroke. |
