About Joe

Pastor. Instructor. Creator.

I've spent over a decade leading high-energy cycling classes at Life Time Fitness in Denver. As a Studio Leader managing 40+ instructors, a pastor with an M.A. in Biblical Theology, and a content creator — I bring it all to every ride.

My YouTube channel brings free workouts to riders worldwide, while my Patreon community offers exclusive faith-based rides for those who want to go deeper — in fitness and in faith.
