I’ve been racing bikes since I was 4 years old — starting in BMX, becoming a World Champion at age 7, and later winning national titles in mountain biking. I’ve ridden for legendary brands like Hutch, Redline, Tomac, Santa Cruz, and Yeti, and I’ve spent over two decades helping athletes and brands grow through my work at Hookit. Everything I’ve learned — on the bike and in the business — now shapes how I coach, consult, and guide others
- On-Bike Coaching — From beginners learning fundamentals to pros fine-tuning race skills, I coach riders at every level with a focus on confidence, control, and performance.
• Sponsorship Consulting — I help athletes, teams, and brands better understand, build, and manage effective sponsorship relationships.
I coach and consult the way I raced — with focus, honesty, and a no-nonsense mindset. I bring real-world experience, helping athletes and brands build confidence, clarity, and high-level performance — on the bike and beyond.
"Rich Houseman has been an invaluable mentor and consultant in my journey as a professional mountain biker and beyond. His deep knowledge of the industry, paired with his experience as a former pro, made all the difference when it came to navigating sponsorships and crafting the right proposals.
Rich not only helped me refine my approach but also took the time to guide me through rewriting emails and structuring deals in a way that truly elevated my career. His insights, professionalism, and dedication to helping athletes succeed are unmatched. I’m incredibly grateful for everything I’ve learned from him, and I highly recommend his coaching and sponsorship consulting to any athlete looking to take their career to the next level." - https://www.annekebeerten.com/
"Rich Houseman changed my view of myself as a rider by setting aside just a day to ride with him. This day marked a shift in how I perceived my skills as a mountain biker and where I stood in terms of improvement. He gave me insightful feedback on the basics, such as creative line choices, bike-body separation, along with foot placement-building my confidence as a newer rider. I remember this day not only for the development of skill but also for the lighthearted environment that inspired me to push myself for more." @savannah_mentality
"From the very beginning, Rich has been the most influential person throughout my racing seasons. Whether it was helping me refine my riding technique or teaching me how to be a strong ambassador for a brand, Rich has always been the best person to turn to."

Rich is awesome!
In a one day clinic he helped me with bike setup, cornering, braking and how to read a trail. And beyond that he’s made himself available to answer questions and offer advice and even just offer some encouragement when I’d be feeling some nerves before a race. He also has fantastic insight into the industry, such as how to conduct myself professionally at a race, and how to work with my sponsors. Hit him up! - @emacbass
Rich Houseman is one of the most professional athletes I have worked with in my career. From day one, he was on time, communicative and quick to return messages. When testing, he put in the work all day until everyone was tired. This made him one of our go to test riders at FOX Racing Shox. I observed Rich many times not only be a top athlete on a team but help the other riders and keep a dynamic team balance.
