Background

Endurance sports have become a defining part of my life, and I’ve been fortunate to compete at a high level across cycling, running, cross-country skiing, triathlon, and duathlon. What began as a return to competitive endurance sports after corporate life has become both a passion and a laboratory for understanding how athletes can continue to improve, compete, and enjoy the sport for decades. Running is an accessible place to start, for me at age 47 and at age 50+, I’ve competed successfully from the mile to the ultra, including a 4:51 mile, 17-minute 5K, sub-three hour marathon, and sub-four hour 50K. Juggling work, family and injuries also gives me first hand knowledge of what athletes face in our modern world.

I help people navigate those waters towards sustainable fitness and longevity.

Coaching Philosophy

Cycling is a wonderful way to achieve lower impact fitness than running and for me it took me to triathlon and duathlon. I have since earned ten national age group titles and many podiums across multiple formats, including road, gravel, and time trial- with distances ranging from Super Sprint to Ultra Distance. Whether you’re cycling goal is to finish a local event, grab a KOM in a Grand Fondo or go for the win in a major gravel event, I am prepared to help and have been on all of those journey’s in the last decade! And for those cross country skiers out there- I am passionate about that as my first endurance sport I learned in high school, fell in love with it and competed in college as a Division 1 athlete. As a returning skier, I’ve moved from the middle of the pack to the front group while learning the latest in training, equipment, and technique.

Every athlete has different goals, strengths, limitations, schedules, motivations, and responsibilities outside of sport. I believe the best training plan is not necessarily the most sophisticated one—it is the one that fits the athlete’s real life and can be executed consistently. Training is the keystone, but successful endurance performance depends on more than workouts. I place equal emphasis on four interconnected areas: training, nutrition and hydration, recovery, and confidence. 

Life happens. Work gets busy, travel intervenes, family responsibilities change, illness or injury can appear, and sometimes an athlete simply needs a different approach. Good coaching means recognizing those realities, making intelligent adjustments, and keeping the athlete moving forward rather than forcing a plan that no longer fits. I’m also passionate about helping masters athletes continue to pursue ambitious goals while training smarter and staying healthy. I love seeing athletes in their 60s, 70s, and beyond still lining up at races and pounding that big ring, running those miles or strapping on the skies. 



In summary, my goal as a coach is to bring together experience, strategy, accountability, and encouragement—to help athletes become stronger, more confident, live well longer, and ultimately capable of achieving things they may not have thought possible.
