A lifelong entrepreneur who opened my own highly successful real estate business in my mid 20\'s, realized it didn\'t bring me joy/fulfillment, so I sold it and became a cycling coach at about a 5th of the income. Built that business up moved to San Jose built the business up again there. Moved to Long Beach, built the business up again out of the country\'s premier velodrome The Velo Sports Center. I then created the Olympic Development Program for USA Cycling, including finding private donors to fund it and became the Head Track Sprint Coach. This was USA Cycling\'s first pathway program for track cyclists in 3 decades.


I\'ve both competed and coached at the highest levels of elite sports, having personally won and medaled at World and National championships, I hold one World and two National records. Additionally, I enjoyed the immense privilege of working at the 2012 Olympic Games.


I\'ve now retired from cycling coaching and work full time as a human behavior and performance coach, running Maximize Your Potential Coaching with Great Britain national team athlete Ryan Owens, we offer 1 to 1 emotional performance coaching, leadership workshops and coaching, Men\'s Groups, and athlete/coach mentoring.

I also helped my wife create Empower Therapy, a therapy private practice.
