About

As a thirty-eight-year-old, coming up on my 20th year since being diagnosed with cancer, my 6th year living with a heart transplant, I often question myself: what is the point of all of this?

It’s a question that has many answers for me.

I feel good. Really good.

Good enough to start building myself to ride 40-70 miles comfortably.

I don’t seek to be fast.

I seek to improve every single day on the bike

And in my life.

I am so clear on what I want with my time, and I have been so grateful to add to this insane life of mine.

If I didn’t get that heart transplant, none of this would exist.

I plan on honoring James (my heart donor), his family, and his friends by riding my bike for really good causes and inspire as many people around me as possible. To #livelikemazz

It’s what I think about most of the time that I am awake during the day

I know I don’t have to, but it’s one of my “why.”

The main other one is “Why not?”

I truly believe with every breath and drop of blood in me, that I have survived all of the things that I have been through, for a really impactful reason.

My resilience and drive constantly have me shaking my head in disbelief.

I’ve always wanted to be a professional athlete/privateer. Nowadays, my cardiac and overall mental health are my priorities, and I get to be creative in ways that align with my career aspirations and personal goals.

I am now finally healthy enough to create that dream.

That is the life I plan on achieving before my last breath in this world.

Feel free to reach out,

Mike
