I started playing team sports in high school and loved competition and the pure fun of playing. This was also when I first understood the connection between focused practice and dramatic improvements in fitness, skill, and grit. During college, my dad introduced me to serious cycling and my life-long love for the sport began. Within a year, I was racing road and mountain bikes and working at a bike shop.

A few decades later, and I still love riding and racing and I’m very fortunate to have made a career out of my passion. My company FSE Coaching trains athletes of all ages and abilities, for both cycling and strength. My assistant coach Josh and I still actively race and we've completed some incredible events in recent years including the Leadville 100 MTB, Unbound 200, Mid South, Gateway Cup, Big Mountain Enduro, MES Enduro, and the Austin Rattler, among others.

Our approach to coaching is holistic and goes beyond basic workouts and training plans. Alongside physical training, we advise athletes about race nutrition, strategy and tactics, mindset, technique, and equipment. With these extra tools, our athletes increase their chances of reaching their goals.

In addition, and perhaps most importantly, we are always available to chat with athletes about any subject. We believe this interaction with clients is what brings real value to coaching. When your coach is always in your corner to help when you have questions or things get tough, you can accomplish almost anything.
