About Me
I started my cycling career racing mountain bikes in 1995. After placing 3rd at the Leadville Trail 100 in 2001 I focused my energy on road racing. I turned professional in 2003 and continued racing road for another six years. I started racing Cyclocross in 2010 and I don’t see myself hanging the bike up any time soon! My coaching career began in 2006 and I have applied all my knowledge and experience from my years racing to coaching my athletes. This gives me a distinct advantage as a coach. There are plenty of coaches who have learned second hand how to train athletes. How many have been professional athletes themselves? I have lived bike racing for the past 30 years and know firsthand how to prepare for a race. Currently I am coaching athletes that range from professional racers to beginners. I also work with non racers who want to stay fit and lose weight. I offer heart rate and power based coaching plans that will fit your goals. I believe in custom training programs. To that end, I try to have as much communication with my athletes as possible. I also build training plans around work schedules and home life. Not everyone has 20-30 hours a week to train, so I will make the most out of the time you do have to train. Whether it’s 5 hours or 30 hours a week, I can tailor a plan to fit you, your goals and your lifestyle.
