Joel is a USA Triathlon (Level 1) and USA Cycling (Level 2) certified coach and specializes in coaching novice to intermediate triathletes and individuals looking to make the move to long-course racing.  He believes that each athlete is an individual and as such their training should specifically reflect those individual needs.  Joel combines the scientific training principles of periodization and specificity to develop custom training plans based on each athlete's unique requirements and goals that will allow them to train smarter and race faster. 

Joel is currently working towards USA Swimming and NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certifications and plans to begin formal course work in exercise physiology, human performance, exercise testing, and sports nutrition. 

Joel has been active in athletics for over 15 years beginning when he earned varsity letters in track and cross country as a freshman in high school.  He has been a competitive age group triathlete and runner for the past 6 years.   In 2006 Joel competed in the 110th Boston Marathon (setting a PR) and the inaugural Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Clearwater, Florida.  In 2007 Joel focused his energy on Ironman Florida and completed his first IM in 9:34.
