In addition to my own coaching, I have also mentored several coaches and helped with their educational process in learning all aspects of coaching including the analysis of power data.
Prior to coaching, I competed in all disciplines of cycling and raced Mountain Bikes Professionally for over 15 years. In that time I achieved several state championships, had been ranked #1 nationally, and finished 3rd at the NORBA National Championships in Mammoth California. I am currently “semi-retired” from racing but still love to ride and train when I have the time. You may even see me at a local road, cross, or mountain bike race in the future.
