James developed a love for cycling at a young age after leaving competitive swimming and started his racing journey in the Edmonton area when he was just thirteen. Cycling was freedom to explore endless roads in and around Edmonton but learning how to race and find a pathway to racing was cryptic at the time. James’s coaching philosophy is rooted in helping athletes reach their full potential and guide them on the pathway towards excellence and passion for a lifelong love of sport.

Since joining RMCC in 2010, James has been an active club member and dedicated a number of years to various leadership positions such as President and Treasurer. Additionally, he serves as a cyclocross  race organizer. James’  contributions extend beyond our local community and served on the Alberta Bicycle Association (ABA) board of directors from 2015 to 2023 and now works as an Executive Director for the ABA. James has reached the Third and final tier of the NCCP coaching pathway and coaches the road devo program as well as several high performance athletes.

At a young age Dean started racing 4X and DH in Ontario accumulating multiple U18 overall titles, podiums, and a provincial championship. He later took a hiatus from mountain biking while attending college and in 2014 he moved to the Bow Valley. In 2017 he attended a showing of the film “The Moment” which stoked the flames for a return to  mountain biking. From that day on the Bow Valley’s trail networks have been his playground!
Before coaching mountain biking, Dean led multi day backcountry trips for the YMCA Camp Chief Hector’s leadership development programs. Later he spent more than six years working as a professional bike mechanic.
