Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences.: I am an avid cyclists and
but have only been really riding for the last three years. My particular interest is in touring. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to that since I moved here. I have lived in other places
through out my time in the military and have seen cycling infrastructure that works and that does
not work. I love Bozeman and want to get more involved in making cycling in the area safer and
more comfortable for both cyclists and drivers. I am very familiar with the cycling laws in
Bozeman. While I do not have much experience with this sort of advisory board situation, I want to help.
