My coaching path
As a an airline pilot/captain for a major US airline, I realized early in my running career that my training plans needed to look different from the standard downloadable or 'cut and paste' type of plan. This has led to my lifelong journey delving into the science of training and training plan development. Over the years I have dedicated countless hours to pursuing certification courses to enhance my knowledge base.
Growing up as a gymnast, I have alway been active when it comes to sports. After significant injury as a teenager competing in gymnastics with a number of knee surgeries, I have come to appreciate the value of a holistic approach to training. I am a firm believer in strength training and focus on this aspect of training in concert with actual run training for each client.
In 2021 I had a wild idea to begin pursuing self-supported multi-day stage races in some of the harshest and most challenging environments in the world. What started as a dream and wild idea led to reality and the achievement of completing multi-day stage races in Asia (Mongolia), Africa (Namibia), South America (Chile), the Middle East (Jordan), Antarctica, New Zealand, Europe (Greece) and Nepal. I am currently one of approximately 300 who have completed the 4Deserts series with RacingThePlanet, having done this over the span of just under four years. I am on a quest to complete a self-supported multi-day stage race on every continent plus Oceania. With Grand2Grand in North America in 2026, and THE TRACK Australia in 2027, my journey to fulfilling this dream is right around the corner.
My training methods are both effective and enjoyable. While my journey in ultraracing started as a personal passion, it quickly grew into a lifelong commitment to helping others reach their potential. I know firsthand the positive impact these experiences can have—not only on physical health but also on confidence and mindset. Let me help you eachieve your life long goals, whether it be your first ultramarathon or self-supported multi-day stage racing.
We’ll work togethert as a team to help you achieve your ultramarathon and/or multi-stage race goals!
