I've had so many athletes achieve success on and off the bike. It's rewarding for me to work with athletes of all levels and help them achieve their goals.

Collegiate road racing for Whitman College. The fun atmosphere and competitive nature of the sport had me hooked after the first weekend of road racing.

Mountain biking and specifically ultra and stage races.

My philosophy as a coach is to understand each individual athlete and cater to their unique needs as a person and athlete. My goal is to find an athlete’s passion for the sport and build upon it. Though each athlete is unique I will treat all athletes with equal respect. I will take into account each athlete’s individual personality, needs, goals, and dreams. To create well rounded endurance athletes who are athletes for life it is important to first establish a strong endurance base. My goal is to help each athlete reach their potential through hard work, focus and smart training. As a coach I will provide each athlete with the training tool they need to perform to the best of their ability.

I love being a coach, I care about each one of my athletes and their success in endurance sports and life. I try to provide accountability, motivation and guidance.

I work with Chris Parrish who rides for Optum Pro Cycling Team

Mountain biking, road riding, and skiing.

8th Place female at Leadville 100 in 2011 4th Place female at La Ruta 2011, 2010


I've really enjoyed getting in back country skiing and learning how to telemark ski.

La Ruta (as twisted as that sounds).

Leadville Trail 100 in 2011. Every thing went extremely well for me that day, I stuck to my nutrition and hydration plan, I had good legs and good luck. I actually enjoyed the race and blew my goal out of the water.

I've had a few...probably when I injured my knees. I’ve torn my ACL in both of my knees, one ski racing when I was in high school and the other playing flag football in college. It took a lot of hard work and determination to come back from those surgeries and return to competitive sports. It taught me that you can achieve your goals if you work hard. I also got into cycling after my second ACL surgery and the reason why I’m a cycling coach now! As far as a bad cycling race experience, I would say Leadville in 2010. I didn’t follow my nutrition plan and paid for it. I bonked so hard on Columbine and paid for it the rest of the race. I couldn’t function for days. I came back in 2011 smarter and more prepared and took almost an hour off my time.

I do better when I stay calm and relaxed. I go over my race plan, nutrition, hydration, bike, etc.

Spend time with friends and family. I like to ski and play in the snow in the winter. I like to travel, cook and play with my dogs.
