I have been involved in a variety of fitness oriented sports for over 20 years and have found the greatest physical and psychological benefit from the simple act of running. 

I started this long trek training in the Navy as a Search and Rescue swimmer and learned that a disciplined and sensible approach to training can allow even average athletes to achieve what seems impossible. 

Certifications:

• RRCA certified long distance running coach
• American Sports Education Program (ASEP) Certified
• American Red Cross CPR Certified
• Advanced First Aid Certified
• Navy Reserve Search and Rescue Swimmer

I've completed races of every length from 5k to Marathons and have coached  runners of all ages, sizes, capabilities and desires, from 11 to  

I know the struggles of balancing a working life with the desire to be fit and get proper exercise.  I know the challenges of setting and reaching running goals and have dedicated my life to helping others discover the magic that happens when a running goal is achieved.

Coaching Philosophy
I believe we are all capable of reaching our running goals if we are willing to commit the time and energy to reaching them.  Too many potential runners are deterred from their goal by taking on too aggressive of goals, or following too many training plans. 

No goal worth achieving comes easy.  The things required in order for you to finish your first 5k, 10k, half or even full marathon are SIMPLE.  Simple but not EASY.  My approach is to set realistic but challenging goals, provide a simple path to achieve that goal and the guidance and support needed to get you across the finish line....

My goal is to guide my athletes to open their lives, minds and hearts to becoming more fit by providing coaching and motivation programs to  achieve their fitness and running goals!

"KNOWING YOU CAN, BELIEVING YOU WILL....".
