My Favorite Accomplishments:

Coached over 14,000 indoor cycling classes.

Survived several bad accidents including being run over by a big truck. The art of recovery makes you a better coach.

I learned how to play some great instruments and will never let that go.

I’ve biked some of the best roads, carved some steeps, been taken out by a huge wave, been affected by and affected great people, and continue to learn valuable lessons.
