CTS Senior Coach – Specializes In Ultrarunning Coaching

“I believe that equipping and empowering people to learn how to solve their own problems, and therefore build confidence in themselves, is the key to success. This certainly holds true for athletes training for ultra distances. Every athlete I have had the privilege to work with is unique, powerful, and has far more potential than they realize. My mission is to help them tap into that source of power and potential, by bringing a scientific approach to training architecture and design, and through a strong coach/athlete relationship that accounts for every aspect of an athlete’s responsibilities in life.”

Coach Bio:

I started running competitively at an early age, eventually on the national level and quickly found a passion for the process of improving performance. This passion continued beyond my track and field background and carried over into my military career, where I trained soldiers and units, for improved fitness. After a decade of military service, I continued coaching in various capacities that included running, military special operations, and even life coaching. This became my full-time practice by 2019. I then shifted my primary focus to ultra-endurance performance, from beginner to elite athletes. I love working with anyone who desires to become the best version of themselves, however, they define it, by utilizing sound scientific training principles, nutrition, strength training, and strong athlete/coach relationships. I live in the beautiful Ozark Highlands with my wife and four kids. We love being outdoors and supporting our local run community.
