I am coached under the guidance of Craig Griffin of Carmichael Training Systems (see photo below). Craig and I work together balancing my training and competition along with my full time job. I receive workouts from Craig throughout the year.
I am also fortunate that I live in Birmingham, Alabama area so I am able to take advantage of the numerous hills, grades and year around weather offered by this region for cycling training.
I meet with Craig and the US Paralympic cycling team at designated training camps throughout the year and take advantage of the following Olympic training centers:
- Colorado Springs, Colorado
- ADT Velodrome Los Angles, California
- Chula Vista, California
Additionally, I am fortunate the Lakeshore Foundation, which is a Paralympic training center, is located in Homewood, Alabama for my use and training.
One can also find me some weekends on the Dicklane velodrome in Atlanta, Georgia training.
