In my teenage years my father was my coach and coach to many top Olympic track and road cyclists. My father was always researching the latest scientific training methods in cycling, running, and strength training, and incorporating them in to his training plans. I went on to win many national titles on the road and the track as a kid and began my own coaching career back in 1992 while racing as a junior.

I dedicated a total of 18 years to my own racing career. During this time I raced 6 years professionally, won two pro national road titles, and raced in big international races with many of the world’s best professional cyclists. In my final few years of racing professionally, I became responsible for designing my teammates training plans. This naturally led me to my current career as a full-time professional cycling coach.

As a racing cyclist I was always known as a rider who could lift his game for an important race. As a coach I have developed a similar reputation of having the ability to help the athletes I coach make significant and rapid improvements and peak for their major objectives. Some have gone on to win World Championship medals and become National Champions.

Today Simon Says Cycling combines a wealth of experience with a very high level of individual attention and caring for each person. I believe that helping others achieve their true potential – whether they are recreational cyclists or competitive racers – is as much about caring, guiding, motivating, and instilling self confidence, as it is about writing the perfect training plan.

I now call Tampa, Florida my home where I share my life with my wife Vanessa and our two girls Hannah and Chloe.
