Terry grew up traveling the world. His father was a CIA Officer and Mother was a
photojournalist. “I grew up mostly in third world countries in S.E. Asia, bikes
were omnipresent and usually the main mode of transportation. Bicycles where the one common thread that
held the chaos of my childhood together.
Bikes where like a universal passport that could gain you entry and
acceptance, regardless of the country I was dropped in, I could get on my bike
and fit in”.
An experienced and well-rounded
athlete: Terry is an accomplished runner, skier and surfer; he has through
hiked the Appalachian Trail (North Bound), and was a three-year letterman in
lacrosse at Hobart College. Terry ran competitively
for many years and transitioned into triathlon until shoulder injuries and
surgery turned his focus to the bike.
Terry began road racing in 2011 and mountain bike racing in 2012.
