Coach Gerry is a Colorado native, who moved to the Grand Valley in 2016. Gerry grew up as a competitive gymnast, and always valued the role of his team and coach in his life. To him it was a second family. Ever since then, he has loved being a part of teams. In Steamboat he spent 8 winters as a Snowboard Coach with the Winter Sports Club, and loved coaching so much he decided to quit restaurant work, and pursue teaching. 
Originally from Boise, Idaho, Geoff grew up outside. He was raised through hiking, biking, fishing, camping and many other outdoor activities. As a lifelong competitive runner turned cyclist, he enjoys coaching a variety of disciplines in cycling, though his favorite is the team-oriented aspect of GVYC. Geoff enjoys using sports to help others develop and grow as people, and strive for and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. He is in his fifth year with the program and has loved seeing it grow from a small program to one that now offers opportunities for middle school as well as high school athletes.
