Charity Work/Community Involvement: Started JAM Fund, a 501-C3 nonprofit, with my two best friends Alec Donahue and Mukunda Feldman. Our goal is to continue to find, develop and help up-and-coming cyclists from New England reach their goals in cycling (or life!) without being constrained by money and equipment. Our biggest charity event is the Grand FUNdo. This year will be its fourth year. It's on July 19,2014 – GrandFundo.com.
