Biography

Lexington Spring Circuit
I started racing BMX as a kid on neighborhood tracks and graduated to my first road bike in middle school. In High School, I joined a cycling club where I fell in love with riding distance with a school club and participating in event rides. Taking a break from riding I turned to Rock Climbing in college where I traveled to rock climbing destinations in the Mid West, Southern and Western USA.
After taking a break from all things sports to start a family and focus on a 20+ year career in technology, I found myself missing the athletic side of my life.
I grabbed all the training books I could get my hands on and read what feels like 1000s of journals on the science of cycling and running. I then selected charity rides and a ride across Kentucky as my early goals. After finishing 3rd in the 3-day ride across my home state of KY I started to think that I was fast enough to race. A year later I entered my first road race. Then after a few seasons of riding and racing unattached I co-founded and directed a local cycling team.

Age Group Duathlon Podium Finish
A few years after my return to cycling I took up running for cross training purposes then fell in love with running 5ks, trails and duathlons.

3UP TTT Podium Indy
My bike racing has also been very successful with many overall, age group and category podiums in Time Trialing and Duathlon through out the Midwest.
I founded one of the most successful podcasts on cycling. The Cycling 360 Show. Have a listen to my new show for all endurance athletes, the Endurance Quick Cast!
