Justin is currently enjoying his second go-around as a competitive cyclist. He started as an elite junior cyclist and triathlete in the Midwest and progressed to competing as a pro mountain biker before “retiring” to start a family. After several years completely off the bike, Justin found himself completely out of shape and very overweight. Encouraged by his daughter who was beginning junior high track, Justin started running and cycling again. A return to more disciplined eating and training brought him back into competitive shape and also allows him to relate to athletes facing similar challenges, whether a rider is heavy or lean; starting out for the first time or looking to start over again while balancing family, work, and sport.

You can find Justin still racing alongside his athletes in Gravel, Road, MTB, and Cyclocross races across the country. When he isn’t training, racing, or coaching Justin enjoys his time with his wife; Andrea, their traildog, Lukenback at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia.
