My athletic background started long before I found cycling. I began playing hockey at age five and continued through college, an experience that taught me the value of preparation, consistency, teamwork, and the work required to improve over time.

After college, cycling became my primary competitive outlet and has remained a major part of my life for more than 25 years. During that time, I've trained and competed across road, gravel, and mountain biking. I still train and race today, which keeps me connected to the challenges of preparing for demanding events while continuing to learn from my own experiences on the bike.

My professional background is in engineering, and that analytical problem-solving mindset eventually drew me deeper into the science of endurance performance. Power-based training, performance data, physiological modeling, and understanding why the body responds to training the way it does became as interesting to me as the competition itself.

Outside of cycling, I’m a father of three athletic daughters and have spent decades balancing family life, a demanding professional career, training, and competition. That experience has shaped my perspective on what it takes to pursue ambitious athletic goals while still maintaining balance in the rest of life.

Coaching has given me the opportunity to bring together those experiences—athletics, engineering, competition, and a lifelong curiosity about performance—and use them to help other cyclists pursue their own goals.
