As Cycling BC's Head of Coach Development and iRide Manager, Ben enjoys the challenge of creating and implementing new strategies that provide safe, fun, and exciting events for introductory youth cyclists in British Columbia.

During his four years at Whitman College, he helped rebuild their cycling team to reclaim the National Collegiate championship in 2009 and 2010. Moving into the North American professional peloton in 2011, Ben raced at the largest events in North America and claimed the Canadian Criterium Championship title in 2012. Ben has worked with youth cyclists in various capacities since 2008, and continues to race provincially in support of youth development.
