That’s certainly how it was for me. Things didn’t finally come together until my 40’s, when I went from an average club rider to a cat 2 road racer, chasing down Aevolo U23 elite guys in regional stage races. That’s not “supposed” to happen with older guys like me who aren’t genetically gifted, but it did. 

How’d I do it? Well, curiosity and determination got the best of me, and I got serious about understanding exercise physiology, nutrition, power-based training methodologies, and sports psychology. I implemented everything, and wow did I ever experience results. My takeaway was “this notion that you get slower as you get older is bogus!”  

During that time my 16-year career in the tech space hit some roadblocks. Layoffs and a general distaste for the corporate landscape were taking their toll. My life vision seemed incongruent with increasing shareholder value and managing larger teams. Instead, a new vision emerged of helping people get fast on the bike. This new vision seemed so much cooler. So I jumped ship.

I’ve been in business since 2020, with over a dozen happy athletes. Check out my website for testimonials. Though I enjoy coaching athletes of all ages, I excel with those past traditional peak age, who want to see what they can do. I see enormous potential in these athletes, and it gets me super pumped. Maybe this is you?
