I have a degree in Human Health Science with a concentration in Exercise Science , I regularly read about training modalities, nutrition, supplementation, etc. to determine the most effective training strategy for each athlete, track and analyze metrics to quantify fitness and recovery, and have a passion for learning and having my training philosophy challenged. I have been involved in research with the BEAR Lab (Biomechanics, Ergonomics, and Abilities Research) at OU and I am currently working on a research project with one of the OU Professors and BEAR Lab research leaders on developing a prototype portable metabolic gas analyzer to be used for clinical grade VO2 max and related measures without the need for large, stationary lab equipment.
​
With over 15 years of riding across many disciplines, I understand the physiological and psychological requirements for every athlete regardless of what they are training for. I have competed in races ranging from the shortest, highest intensity Keirin racing to all day mountain bike ultra endurance races, and riding enduro mtb to epic 12 hour gravel rides.
