Why do I coach?

It is very rewarding to observer others achieve what is initially thought to be too difficult or impossible. Whether it’s your first short distance event or next endurance race, the feeling of accomplishment is immeasurable. There is an overwhelming amount of information available today making it difficult to plan the appropriate type and amount of training to fit your needs. I make it easy by applying sound training concepts and experience to a structured training plan. Training does not have to be a part time job, stressful, or intimidating. I like to make it fun.

Why am I qualified to coach you?

As USA Triathlon and USA Cycling certified coach I regularly attending coaching conferences at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. I stay current with the latest training techniques and use only proven methods with my training plans. My coaching experience of 5 years includes working with organizations such as Team in Training, Possibilities, and the Challenged Athletes Foundation.
