CTS Expert Coach

“My approach to coaching is rooted in the diverse experiences I’ve accumulated, and I’m dedicated to helping athletes overcome their challenges and reach their full potential, whether they’re aiming for their first ultra or seeking to push their limits even further.”

Coach Bio:

My journey in athletics and coaching is driven by a passion for helping others achieve their best, both physically and mentally.  I developed a love for teaching and coaching while serving in the Air Force as an Instructor Flight Engineer and being a leader in my squadron’s fitness program.   After serving for 11 years honorably, I separated and went back to school.  I earned a Master’s of Science Degree in Exercise Physiology from California State Fullerton, which allowed me to coach across a wide range of disciplines.

I owned Olympic Weightlifting Gyms in Northern California, where I had the privilege of coaching a team of National Level Weightlifters for six years. I worked with athletes in Women’s Volleyball, Swimming, Baseball, Football, and shorter-distance runners. I also gained invaluable experience interning as an athletic trainer.

I then transitioned into the Tactical Strength and Conditioning realm, where I had the opportunity to work with the Army’s 10th Mountain Division and Air Force Special Warfare. There I honed my skills in tailoring training programs for both elite tactical athletes and conventional soldiers.

Later, I discovered ultrarunning, and since then, I’ve completed races such as the Bandera 100k, Rim to River 100 miler, Falling Water 100k , and Cabin Fever 50k. I’ve also had the rewarding experience of helping coach athletes at events like the Cabin Fever, Mogollon 100 miler, and Hood Hundred 100 miler.
