About
I am very intuitive and can really sense how people are feeling, what worries they may have and what's holding them back. Because of this I am very sensitive to an individual's needs and can help them get through barriers. I completely share in the celebration when my client's success turns into tears of joy!
From honing skills for National competitors through helping casual riders build confidence to helping children and adults with special needs and challenges, there is no challenge too monumental to overcome. Regardless of where you begin I will get you noticeable results from the first session.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Since I work with everyone from rank beginners who've never ridden a bike to athletes competing in national events, pricing is based on what we are doing and can include use of a bike and other equipment so you can try things out before making a huge investment.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginner riders to athletes competing in national championships, Ironman finishers and even Paralympic hopefuls on the cusp of qualifying for Team USA at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. I have volunteered as head coach for Helen's Angels Paracycling team, a chapter of Disabled Sport USA. I volunteer as a coach and mechanic for Wounded Warriors through Project Hero cycling challenges and served as advisor and cycling coach for WrestlingMS's national cycling team.
Adaptive and personalized sport and special needs are welcome.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
From a 3 milke ride with a special needs client to a 180 mile ride with a seasoned rider, every day on a bike is a great day!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask enough questions to ensure the proper fit and flexibility for you. The most popular coach who gives out cookie cutter plans and advice probably won't have the time or skills to make sure you are achieving your best possible results.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Consider where you are now, where you intend to go and where you'd like to be in your wildest dreams.
