SERVICES

As an athlete centric coach I focus on creating customized plans based on the athlete’s goals, schedule, available time to train and abilities. My typical athlete falls into or across two profiles: 1) Athletes who are time constrained and most often have a family with a busy career; and 2) Older athletes who are looking for a coach who understands the needs and demands of an older competitive athlete especially with respect to fatigue and injuries. In addition to working triathletes and runners around the world I teach run and swim biomechanics locally and at camps. I am available for camps and clinics. Past IRONMAN training camps and clinics include Lake Placid, Chattanooga, North Alabama and Florida.

BACKGROUND

Through smart and consistent training, I have podiumed at all distances through 70.3, and been a nationally ranked All American and honorable mention All American on several occasions. Additional achievements include AG National Champion in Sprint Triathlon and Long Course Duathlon in 2015.

Other interests include walking with others through spiritual direction and working with the SE Interspiritual Sanctuary.
