I specialize in coaching novice to intermediate triathletes and individuals looking to make the move to long-course racing. I have been a USA Triathlon (Level 1) and USA Cycling (Level 2) certified coach but more importantly I'm an athlete myself and I understand the demands of everyday life and working a full-time job. I choose to only work with a few clints at a time and approache each athlete as an individual - your training and guidance should specifically reflect your personal needs and situation.  I rely on scientific training principles with a "quality over quantity" approach based on your unique needs and goals that will you to train smarter and race faster. 


I have been active in athletics for over 20 years beginning with varsity letters in track and cross country as a freshman in high school.  Since then I have been a competitive age group triathlete and runner for the past 10 years.   I've raced the Boston Marathon (2:53 PR), the inaugural Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Clearwater, Florida, Ironman Florida (9:34 PR), JFK50 ultramarathon, Ironman Coeur d'Alene, and the inaugural Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada just to name a few. In 2012 I'll be doing a lot of running through the winter and spring before turning my focus to the inagural Ironman U.S. Championship in August taking a run at a Kona slot.
