I am a long-time competitive cyclist and coach of endurance athletes. As a Cat 1 mountain biker, gravel cyclist, and former road racer, I bring a science-based approach to coaching and incorporate the most recent training, nutrition, and recovery evidence into my athletes’ programming. I have a PhD in nutrition and metabolism, master’s and bachelor’s degrees in exercise physiology, and am a Certified Performance and Sport Scientist (CPSS) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). In addition to coaching, I am an associate professor of sport and exercise science at an NAIA university and serve as a sport scientist for the university’s athletes. Earlier in my career, I worked at NASA-Johnson Space Center where I conducted research and developed exercise hardware and training programs for astronauts on the International Space Station.
