Books Shift: Creating Better Tomorrows

On the morning of July 11, 2001, I was on a training ride, before a company meeting north of Albuquerque, New Mexico, when I was hit head-on by a speeding SUV. As I lay on the asphalt waiting for the Medevac to arrive to take me to the trauma center, I made a promise to myself that if I lived, life would be different. I would stop chasing happiness. As I started my recovery, life did indeed become different. Unfortunately, it was not different in the way I desired. I was consumed by negative emotions, even though I tried to put on a brave face.

In Shift, I share how my peloton, perspective, and perseverance helped fuel my recovery, career, and my outlook on life. My story is not that uncommon. In fact, it could happen to your co-worker, neighbor, best friend, or you. I believe it’s a relatable journey that I hope will inspire and motivate you to become your best.

Life can shift in a moment. The only question is, “How do you wish to respond when it does?”
