I coach endurance athletes in mountain biking, road, and gravel, especially those in midlife balancing family, work, and health. My approach blends science-backed training, athletic wellness, and individualized support to help athletes build strength, endurance, and confidence at any stage of life.
My cycling journey began in 2000 when I joined Northern Arizona University’s Division 1 collegiate cycling team as a novice mountain biker. Through dedication and hard work, I progressed to the Pro level in cross-country mountain biking and earned Cat 2 status on the road. My race experience spans endurance MTB (50- and 100-mile events), XTERRA, criteriums, time trials, stage races, hill climbs, cyclocross, and gravel.

In 2004, I became a mountain bike instructor at NAU, sparking a deep passion for coaching. From 2010 to 2012, I 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, recognizing the critical role of self-care in training and racing. My background includes several years in marketing and coaching within the bicycle and outdoor industries.

Since 2013, I’ve focused on personal coaching, working with mountain bike, road, and gravel athletes. My approach blends science-backed training with athletic wellness and individualized programming to help athletes build strength, endurance, and confidence. I prioritize a data-driven yet holistic method, combining structured plans with ongoing feedback to create sustainable, high-impact training tailored to each athlete.
