Originally hired as Technical Editor for two magazines: VeloNews (20 issues per year) andInside Triathlon (12 issues per year), I was named as news editor for VeloNews in 2000. Throughout that time, I was and continue to be responsible for event reports, coverage of the national and international governing bodies of cycling and the ongoing drug problems in cycling and triathlon. While writing is my first love, I do spend less time at that these days as I moved to the new position as editor of VeloNews.com, a job that involves coordinating, scheduling and managing the work of some 20 contributors. During the three-week-long Tour de France, for example, VeloNews.com's Tour coverage generates upwards of 35 million page views, with readers checking on the work of more than 12 regular contributors. I have also worked closely with our book division VeloPress, authoring and co-authoring several books since my arrival at the company, including an annual wrap of the Tour de France and, most recently, Thomas Prehn's book, Racing Tactics for Cyclists, now on its second printing. I have also served as managing editor of several of VeloPress's top selling titles, including Zinn and the Art of Mountain bike Maintenance, Joe Friel's Cyclist's Training Bible and one of the company's most profitable titles, the Barnett's Manual, a detailed repair guide for shop owners.
