About me:
Growing up in a smaller town in Minnesota, I developed a passion for snowboarding on a small resort, Mt. Kato. I progressed to obtain a small sponsorship with Burton in 2013. However, while running D2 cross country for Minnesota State University, Mankato at the same time, I developed compartment syndrome. Multiple operations were done to address the issue without success, and I was left in chronic pain with doctors and trainers telling me there was nothing left I could do, and my days of being an athlete were over.
Refusing to settle for this, I kept working hard and found people who believed with me that I could get better. A few years later, I was pain free and racing bikes on the road as a category 1 cyclist. After Moving to Utah in 2019, I feel I have found my true passion training in the canyons and refocusing on mountain biking and gravel, bringing together flow and technical skills from snowboarding with my endurance developed from running.

Here is a really awesome story covering Gravel Worlds that features Joe and Kendra's experience at the event!
It really is a special race, and we are looking forward to coming in 2026, with Joe looking for redemption from the mud!

We just dropped our FoCo Fondo race film - easily one of our favorite events of the year with an incredible course, venue, and people that put this race on.
If you’ve raced FoCo (or want to), what makes it special to you?
