Bob has been an avid endurance athlete most of life. Throughout his 50s, he focused on Ironman triathlon racing, completing 3 full Ironman distance races (Maryland, Chattanooga and Louisville), as well as 15 70.3 Half Ironman races, with his best at the 2021 Ironman 70.3 Gulf Coast with a 5:16, earning a slot at the 2021 Ironman World Championship race in St. George, Utah. During COVID, Bob switched to a running focus, qualifying for the Boston Marathon in 2021. He then decided to pursue the Abbott World Major Marathons, and completed all 6 in 2024, plus Boston again in 22, 24 & 25.
Bob believes anyone can unlock their potential with the help of the right coach providing guidance and support. Whether your goal is to run a World Major Marathon, a local 5K, or just improve your health and wellness, working with the right coach can help you achieve your goals!
