A Kansas City native, Justin discovered his love for cycling at a young age, inspired by witnessing Alexi Grewal's victory in the 1984 Olympic Road Race.

Coach Jake has been a cycling coach for over 12 years and has been coaching full time with FasCat for 9 years.

Coach Jake grew up racing in Michigan as a junior doing local training races against Tour De France racer Frankie Andreu. Knowing he also wanted to be a pro, he accepted a cycling scholarship to Marian University. While at Marian he went on to win the Midwest Collegiate Cycling Conference 4 years in a row, finished 2nd at Collegiate Road Nationals in 2005, finish 3rd in the Individual Pursit on the track between two future Olympians, spent a summer racing in Belgium, accepted his first pro contract with the Advantage Benefits Cycling Team, and all the while earned a degree in Sports Management.

During his racing career he picked up coaching athletes after discovering the excitement of the science behind power training. He also spent a year as an assistant coach at his alma mater Marian College coaching athletes on the track and the road.

In his time racing as a professional he raced all of the big US races including Tour of California along with races in Europe and Asia. His highest finish in the USPRO Criterium championships was 6th and 12th in the USPRO road race. Jake also had multiple top 10s in Pro calendar stage races including overall win at Fitchburg Longjso and third at the Tour of the Bahamas. He also has a 7th place in Iceman and an 8th place in the Lumberjack 100 mountain bike race.

Nowadays, Jake is a father of three and spends more time riding Zwift than outdoors.  It should come as no surprise that he has moved his focus from being a pro bike racer to a pro cycling coach.  Jake completed a successful mentorship in Boulder and resides in Indiana.  Jake also served as the Director for the Bissell ABG Giant U23 Developmental Team.

In 2016 one of Jake’s athletes won the 35-39 Master Nationals Road Race with an impressive long range solo breakaway.
