I've been racing since 1983 and coaching since 2004. I work with riders of all levels, from beginners to pros, helping them meet goals from just getting fitter to improving race results. I like to think of my coaching as educational, as I try to help my athletes understand how the workouts and program I suggest will help them on race day. I use data from my athletes to make the most of each one's strengths for his or her target events. I'm also an experienced bike fitter and mechanic.
Outside of coaching, I spent eighteen years as a software engineer, and I can also juggle pretty good. I'm 99.9% plant based, and I don't wear long pants for eight months out of the year. I tan pretty good and once aspired to follow Zonker Harris into professional tanning.
