About The Coach

Movement has always been a driving force in my life. Growing up, I played every sport my school offered before focusing on competitive soccer. While rehabbing from a knee injury during my undergraduate years, I discovered the freedom and adventure that cycling provides—an experience that ignited my passion for endurance sports. Since then, my love for endurance has expanded to include all forms of locomotion, whether on foot, bike, or beyond.

I have coaching experience across various levels, from juniors to masters and novice to elite athletes. Additionally, my background in physiological and metabolic testing has given me a deep understanding of endurance performance, allowing me to tailor training programs based on science-driven insights.

I am passionate about helping athletes challenge themselves and break through perceived limits. My goal as a coach is to empower, educate, and inspire those I work with, guiding them toward their highest potential.
