About The Coach

“What’s my training philosophy? Preparing you for the events you care about. Period.
Training is never quite that simple but it is my guiding principle that everything I do can be traced back to. Along the way, I craft a relationship with each athlete and guide them to a training style that they will truly enjoy. We compete in endurance sports because it adds value to our life, I am here to help you love your life.”

 

 

I’ve been in love with running since I was 12. Eventually turning to Ultrarunning in my adult life. My personal racing focuses on mountainous 100 mile races. But more than anything, I live to train and I love being an athlete.

I started coaching runners and ultrarunners in 2021 and found it to be a rewarding process as I was emotionally invested in my athletes’ successes and setbacks. Coaching is a full time job for me, my focus is on my athletes, always. I have an endless curiosity for figuring out what training works best and why. I am dedicated to the art of applying that knowledge to help my athletes reach their goals.
