Hello, I'm Ty!  I've been coaching a local kids' mountain bike team since 2021 and have been guiding, hosting group trail rides, and unofficially coaching adults since 2022.  In 2023 I received my BICP Level 1 Coaching certification.  

I didn't start mountain biking until I was in my 30's so I remember what it's like to be a beginner.   I've worked with coaches around the country, attended many skills clinics, and become a true student of the sport (nerd alert!) 

 I love helping people get past the beginning stages of mountain biking  (this is scary!) and get to the good parts (this is fun!) without having to spend an arm and a leg or travel across the country.   I especially enjoy coaching hyper-locally, in Ann Arbor on our trails (I <3 the local loop!) and for the clubs I participate in.  This allows me to book shorter, more frequent sessions with clients, which I find works best for learning.
