About

I’m Sam and I grew up in the Chicago suburbs.  I love sports and as a kid I started with baseball and tennis, and kept playing tennis up through high school.  It was in high school that I discovered cycling.  By my Junior year (or 11th grade) I was doing 8-10,000 miles a year in my training.  However a year later when I got ready to start college I cut back on cycling a lot.

It is only now 4 years later, a year after I stopped going to school that I am picking up cycling again.  Cycling is the sport I love, and it is hard see riders that I could compete with back in 2003 now racing in the pro ranks at the top pro races in the US and Europe.  So I have once again decided to push forward and see if I can’t succeed in cycling.

I’m also working 40 or so hours a week at Steak N Shake to try to pay for this dream and working on getting moved into management where I will be doing 50 hours per week.  But I want to succeed, so I hope and push on.  I also love tech, and spend way too much time on the computer and social networking sites.  I would love to meet some people, Kevin Rose and Gary Vaynerchuk among them and get the chance to hang out with them.  I am interested in the social media and want to mix it with my passion of cycling.  Find a new way to bring cycling information to fans through internet video, audio, and blogging.

They are just awesome people who are pushing the world forward.  Anyway, I’m bad at this writing about myself thing so I’ll just leave it there.
