Racing the West LA GPWith 16 years of riding experience, 7 of those years as a professional (3 years as a mountain biker and 5 years on the road) I have worked with a handful of coaches. I have seen and experienced many different training programs and coaching philosophies. I believe there are many great coaches out there, but where most fall short is with actual Victory at the Edgar Soto Memorialtraining and racing experience. Experience can't be learned from a book but only by endless hours of practice.

I put as much passion and enthusiasm into my coaching as I do my own professional cycling career. I can work one on one with you to achieve your own goals, whether that's to race professionally, to upgrade to a cat 3 or just to improve your overall fitness. With the right mix of your dedication, my training philosophy and us working together we can achieve your biggest goals.

I specialize in road and mountain bike coaching. Some of the services I can provide are:

- Training Peaks Software
- Bike Fitting
- One on one training rides
- Dietary analysis/recommendations (from a Nutritionist)
- Weight training program
- Custom coaching packages


I like to have a personal relationship with my riders. Because of this I prefer to work with riders based in Southern California. I feel I can support your needs much better if we can meet and even ride together on a regular basis. I attend a lot of the So Cal races and I make it a point to watch my athletes in their respective categories. It is invaluable to have a coach that can watch you compete and make tactical recommendations or training changes based on the racing.

I limit how many athletes I work with so that I can maintain the highest quality service to each rider. I make myself available through e-mail and cell phone to all my riders. Pricing depends on your own individual needs.

Please e-mail me with any questions.
