ESCI Level 2About
I have a deep love for both triathlon and trail running, and I thoroughly enjoy helping others find that passion in endurance sports as well. Triathlon and endurance running can be daunting sports to get into, grow within and stay healthy over the long-term; this is why I chose to become an endurance sports coach. I initially started taking classes simply for my own growth, but discovered along the way a deep love of watching others figure it out, grow and find passion too.
Philosophy
I believe that YOU are the center to your own training, and I want you to be involved in every step of your progress. I thoroughly believe in you and your ability to get to the finish line - it doesn't matter if you are a podium finisher, a back of the packer or a newbie to sport ... YOU ARE AN ATHLETE and I look forward to getting to know you and help you grow. I want to help you achieve your goals - all I ask in return is passion and dedication. Nothing makes me prouder than to see you accomplish what you set out to achieve; and nothing makes me feel more gratified than when you choose to sign up again - or go even bigger.

Experience
I am a United States Navy Veteran, having served as a Damage Controlman, Navy Flight Officer, and Officer Recruiter before retiring in 2019 after 20-years of service. I first entered the sport of triathlon in 2002 when I did my first sprint distance race in Colorado and remained a short course triathlete until 2018 when I did Ironman 70.3 Arizona for my first long course race. After that race, I was hooked and have been a long course athlete ever since. I am a 1x Ultraman finisher, 7 x Ironman finisher, 11 x Ironman 70.3 finisher, 6 x marathon finisher, 1 × 100k finisher, 1 x 50-miler finisher and 3 x 50-60k ultra-marathon finisher. I have over 28 years of racing experience in distances ranging from 5k to marathon road races, 15k - 100k trail races, sprint to ultra distance triathlons, metric to full century bike races, and 30–50-mile gravel/MTB races. I enjoy coaching a wide variety of athletes, from first-time racers trying to cross that finish line for the first time, to age groupers looking to obtain their personal best or qualify for a World Championship event.
