I find it appropriate that for my birthday post I reflect on 2025 with some key numbers:
- 1000 espressos consumed (conservative estimate). ☕️
- 400 pickets used in a DIY fence project.
- 125 bike fit services completed at
@hu.performance (started in April). 🚲🔧
- 122 Sweat Tests. 🧂💧
- 10 Expos and events done with
@precisionfandh .
- 5 current athletes on my coaching roster, with the 2 that started it all pictured.
- 4 beers consumed in 6:20 while also running a mile.🍻🏃♂️
- 2 guys who have NO IDEA what the appropriate next steps are for building a deck. Finished project next picture.
- 1 amazing Fiancée who continues to stick with me through all the highs and lows. ❤️
- 0 races/proud athletic achievements. And that’s ok!
When 2025 started, I thought it would be a year full of athletic feats and race results I could be proud of. And what started out as a year with lofty athletic dreams quickly pivoted to one spent tireless pursuing a better life outside of sport. I learned how to build things like a fence and a deck with my soon to be father in law. I conducted hundreds of bike fits and sweat tests, and helped so many people reach their yearly athletic goals thanks to
@caitalexander and
@ryanignatz , some of the best bosses, mentors and friends I’ve ever had. I relentlessly pursued new opportunities, and traveled thousands of miles trying to prove my worth both to myself and to a company I wanted so desperately to be part of. Fast forward to today, and I’m excited to have accepted a full time position with
@precisionfandh for 2026 and hopefully years to come. Thank you
@jonnytye1 ,
@andyblow and
@jackwdavis94 for this amazing opportunity.
This was the first year in my professional life where sport took the back seat. No races, no athletic improvements, just a guy who wanted something better for himself and his partner. I’m forever grateful for this year, the lessons I learned along the way, and for a significant other who never stopped loving me through it all
@peyton.wright . 2026 will be an amazing year, just ask 2025.
