I ride my "giraffe" unicycle along the shores of Lake Michigan on the Evanston Lakefront Path, often while juggling three clubs.
I do this for fun, but have also ridden in parades including multiple Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parades (even being featured on BOTH the Trib and Sun Times), 4th of July, Halloween, and Christmas parades in both Illinois and California.
The reason why I started unicycling in the first place: Unicycle Basketball. I've earned three medals (one silver and two bronze) at the Unicon World Championships in Spain, Korea, and France.
I'm currently training hard for Unicon 21. For the first time in 22 years, Unicon is in the United States and Team Swish is looking SO STRONG.
I rode across Iowa - my home state - during RAGBRAI in 2021 and 2023. In 2023, I was proudly a part of the Powered By Plants Cycling Team.
I'm especially proud of riding a full 100 Mile Century during training in 2023, becoming the 96th person to log a full century on Unicyclist.com!
