I’m a USAC Level 1 Professional Cycling Coach based in San Diego, California. I coach competitive cyclists locally in San Diego and online across the United States. I’ve been coaching since 2006 and hold the highest coaching certification issued by USA Cycling.

Cycling Coaching in San Diego

San Diego offers some of the best year-round cycling terrain in the country, coastal roads, mountain routes through the backcountry, and a race calendar that runs through most of the year. My athletes in San Diego benefit from individualized coaching programs built around local routes, conditions, and regional racing.

What I Coach

I work primarily with competitive amateur and masters cyclists focused on road racing, criteriums, time trials, triathlons, and gran fondos. Training is built around objective performance data, power meter or heart rate, and each plan is individualized to your fitness, schedule, and target events.

Aerodynamic Testing in Southern California

In addition to coaching, I offer access to aerodynamic testing through facilities in Southern California, including the San Diego Wind Tunnel and ERO testing at the Los Angeles Velodrome. Testing identifies position and equipment changes that reduce drag and improve speed. Learn more about aerodynamic testing.

Online and Local Coaching

All coaching is structured through TrainingPeaks. I deliver weekly training plans, review data files from workouts and races, and adjust the program based on what the numbers show. You can message me directly. My coaching programs work equally well for athletes anywhere in the United States, not just San Diego.
