About Me

I’m a USAT Level II Certified Coach (former), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and an experienced triathlete with twenty years of racing experience.  I have coached endurance athletes for over fouteen years, with a long list of excellent results.  Previously, I worked under Coach Joe Friel as an Elite Level Coach at Training Bible Coaching.  For the last fourteen seasons, I’ve coached many beginners to their first successful ironman and half-ironman distance triathlons. I’ve coached more experienced athletes to wins, PR’s, many podiums, and elite, World Championship level performances.

As a dedicated Coach, I consistently educate myself on the basic art and science of endurance sports, as well as the individuals I coach.  I go above and beyond what is required of a USAT Certified Coach in terms of continuing education, because I know it makes me a better coach.

I believe excellent communication is at the heart of effective coaching and teaching.  Important messages won’t land if they’re not communicated well.  So, what does that mean?  In my opinion, the often confusing – even intimidating – interconnected issues of effective training and recovery ought to be tackled in a simple, coherent, understandable way.  There’s no need to complicate what’s already likely unfamiliar for the athlete.  Leave the confusion game to law professors.

In another career, I was an attorney. (I know, I don’t much like them either.)  I naturally use my communication skills to my advantage.  I believe that through my professional and educational experiences, I have developed top notch communication skills, and of course, I bring this all to my Coaching.
