What is Josh Patton Development?
Josh Patton Development (JPD) serves as a personal LLC for business opportunities in and around the cycling world as well as my coaching endeavors. The word "development" fits the bill as the brand focuses on developing cycling partnerships and more importantly, cyclists. I bring my experience to help others make memories and chase their dreams. Cycling is my culture, my lifestyle, and I'm very lucky to call it my work.
The Mission
JPD is focused around coaching and developing cyclists from around the globe. Over my 20+ years of racing experience, I have gained a love to give back and help others chase their goals. For some that may mean just finishing a race, others it may mean winning a national title. I am here for everyone and would love to connect with anyone looking to find success.
The Method
First and foremost, I talk to all of my riders. If you buy a pre-built plan or are on a custom plan you have access to chat with me. I do this because knowledge is key. I meet you where you are, and I work towards your goals the best we can with the resources available. I also limit the amount of riders I will take on with custom plans as I want to assure they are getting the attention they need.
I offer not only my knowledge of racing and cycling, but also help with other aspects of the sport. See the coaching page for more details.

The Story
From the age of eight years old I have been racing my bike. Ten years into that journey, I became a collegiate cyclist for Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky. There, I bumped shoulders with some of the fastest riders in the world. By the time I graduated I had my name on two Collegiate National Championships as well as a handful of National Championship podium finishes.
I went on to have a professional racing career for various sponsors. My main focus started with BMX, but turned to gravity racing in my college years and through my professional career. I now opt for the slower twitch activities and set adventures around the seemingly impossible.
I currently sit as the Head Cycling Coach at Lindsey Wilson College. It's an honor to give back to my alma mater, and even more of an honor to work with riders from across the globe chasing the same dream that I once had.
Aside from cycling, I went to LWC and double-majored in business and media studies with an emphasis in graphic arts. I took that degree and started designing and doing photography as I faded out of my racing career. Over the years, I have taken photos for multiple outdoor, and cycling magazines, designed logos for brands in a wide range of industries, and been part of numerous large media projects.
I still work and dedicate time to design and photography. With coaching as my main focus I am very strategic with what brands I work with, this is why I started Rocketpower Brand Co.

What can I be hired for?
Various things cycling related! Primarily I am a coach, and also work with riders on the development side of their career, such as marketing, sponsors, etc. I can also be hired for consulting for cycling related events, programs, mechanic work/consulting, team management, and more. I've been around bikes well over half of my life, so I am happy to offer all the advice and skill I can.
If you want to talk and possibly hire me, drop me an email! I am a USA Cycling Certified Coach. I've been racing for 20+ years, and have stories to tell for days. We will get a conversation or two in before we make the decision if I am the right fit for your coaching, development, or consulting needs.

What about the marketing work?
Yeah, I separated my design work to a different LLC as I grew, Rocketpower Brand Co. I wanted to invite others in and tackle larger projects. For this it was best to create a brand that didn't have my name in it. Now, we're able to tackle large corporate projects, as well as the small passion projects. The best part, I still have a hand in that business, and RPBC has added race and team direction to their list of services in which I am heavily involved. If you're looking for info, please contact RPBC directly for any design, photography, or branding related questions. You can find them here.
Sponsorships
Like most in the industry, sponsorships keep things rolling (pun intended). I am lucky to have worked with many brands, big and small, over the years. I am always open to adding new brands to my lineup of sponsors so we can create content that is engaging and fun for the world to see. If interested in being part of JPD, reach out!
2021 sponsors/partners being announced soon.
