Early life

Blevins was born on March 14, 1998, in Durango, Colorado, son of Field and Priscilla[5] His father is an orthopedic surgeon with a specialty in sports medicine[6] and his older sister Kaylee was also a member of the U.S. National mountain bike team.[5] He went to college in San Luis Obispo, CA graduating from Cal Poly in 2021 with a degree in business administration with a concentration in entrepreneurship.[7] Additionally, he teaches voluntarily spoken-word poetry in a local juvenile hall and is a lyricist of rap music.[6]

Career

Blevins began participating in the sport of cycling at the age of five by competing in BMX races. He managed to win eight national championships in the age divisions between elementary and high school. His BMX career ended at the age of sixteen however, and by the age of twelve he had already begun to compete in both mountain bike and road cycling. He had great success from the ages of thirteen to nineteen where he won the national Cross Country championship in his age group. At sixteen he was able to win the road cycling national championship as well.[8]
