       Stefan WebsterBoard Treasurer Stefan Webster brings more than a decade of experience coaching youth mountain biking and managing team operations to his role as Treasurer of SoCal Youth Cycling. He earned his B.A. in Economics from UCLA, where he was also a member of the university cycling team. After college, Stefan spent several years teaching AP Computer Science at El Camino Real Charter High School, combining his analytical background with a passion for helping students grow through discipline and creativity. Over the past eleven seasons, Stefan has served as Head Coach for both the El Camino Real High School team and now the Santa Monica Mountains Composite team. Under his leadership, the program expanded from just a few families to nearly two dozen athletes each year, culminating in a sweep of the Division 2 Title in 2022. His coaching emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and confidence on and off the bike. A lifelong cyclist, Stefan first fell in love with riding as a kid tackling the steep hills of his neighborhood. That same sense of freedom and joy fuels his commitment to supporting coaches and inspiring young riders to discover what they’re capable of — and to always remember that riding bikes is supposed to be FUN!
