Name: Jeff
Day Job: Pharmacy Technician
DOB: October 25, 1986
Bike: Murray Sebring couples bike with Ascent front and rear lights
Cycling Goals: To get out of the house and do more outdoor activities with fellow TAP rider
               "Wobbles."
Best Place/Time to Ride: "Safe Spot, Bike Spot" - A park and parking lot area that is deserted at
               night and provides worry free night sessions. Not very big, but has endless loops that can
               keep the casual rider busy.
Other hobbies or preferred activities: I love almost anything that involves a ball. I consider myself 
               to be a basketball player first, and anything else second. I hope that cycling will give me 
               more explosiveness to dunk with two hands. I also enjoy tennis with "Wobbles." (One of the 
               few sports she can beat me in). Weekends I find myself gunning it out with other TAP 
               members in paintball.  
Favorite Quote:
             "Dance like no one is watching,
               Love like you'll never be hurt,
               Sing like no one is listening,
              And live like it is heaven on Earth."
                                -William Purkey
