Bio: I was born in Santa Rosa, CA in 1962. I lived here until the age of 7, then 1 year in Sebastopol, CA on an apple orchard. We spent most of my 8th and into my 9th years travelling all over Mexico and Guatemala in a 1955 VW Bus. We then moved into the wilderness where I was raised sans the usual amenities (electricity, running water...) I have been involved in many trades and have learned a great deal. I worked for Korbel Champagne Cellars from 1984-93 managing the Visitor Center. Those were fun times.I returned to school in 1994 finishing my BA in Spanish Lit and Culture (I am fully bilingual in Spanish and can dabble in French) and got my MA in counseling. Since 1998, I have been working in education, first as a school counselor and more recently as a high school assistant principal. I recently retired, June 2023, and now would like to coach a few people. I have always loved coaching, but have never done it professionally. About: As a counselor, parent of two, grandparent, school administrator, and endurance athlete since the mid 1980's, I have always been a counselor and a coach, but not officially.I have a sense of humor, sometimes dry and off color. Above and beyond fitness, I enjoy playing and creating music. art, reading movies, cooking, wine pairing, travelling and spending time with friends and family. Background I have coached a lot of people unofficially. I have paced many friends in marathons and helped them get BQ as well as PRs at numerous distances.I am currently finalizing my certification through Ironman U. I began coaching professionally in June of 2023.
Philosophy
Coaching Philosophy: I see my job as a copartner and facilitator. I am the person who can look in from the outside and see things you may be blind to. I am a lover of data, but also realize that there are issues of the heart that data doesn't always show. I will be your cheerleader, teammate and the person who makes sure you make continuous long-term progress, while avoiding injury. I will help ensure that you are doing the right training right. Qualifications and Accomplishments: USATF CeertifiedCompleted over 47 MarathonsPR 10 K as a master 38:15 (age 58, downhill) 37:55 (age 30 not downhill)Running streak (at least 1 mile per day) started Jan 1, 2000, currently ranked # 92 in the country8-1/2 Ironmans, 2021 followed a training and dropped 30 minutes off PRI think my biggest qualification is when you look at my endurance ability levels now, compared to in my 20's and 30's, at age 60, I am not too far off of where I was then.
