I coach endurance athletes in mountain biking, road, and gravel, with a focus on athletes in midlife balancing training with family, work, and long-term health. My approach blends science-backed training, athletic wellness, and individualized support to help athletes build strength, endurance, and confidence in a sustainable way.

I began cycling in 2000 on Northern Arizona University’s Division I collegiate cycling team as a novice mountain biker and progressed to the professional level in cross-country mountain biking, earning Category 2 status on the road. My racing background includes endurance mountain biking (50- and 100-mile events), XTERRA, criteriums, time trials, stage races, hill climbs, cyclocross, and gravel.

I began coaching in 2004 as a mountain bike instructor at NAU and later served as head cycling coach for a triathlon training program in Hawaii, leading MTB skills clinics for XTERRA athletes. During this time, I also began teaching yoga for athletes, deepening my understanding of recovery and sustainable performance.

Since 2013, I’ve focused on one-on-one coaching for mountain bike, road, and gravel athletes. My coaching philosophy combines structured, data-informed training with close attention to the human side of sport. I work to create plans that are effective, adaptable, and realistic, supporting athletes not just in reaching goals, but in staying healthy, consistent, and engaged over the long term.
