About Jeff

I live in Colorado, where I spend my time exploring the trails and mountains with my family or on solo adventures. I was first introduced to trail and ultra running over 20 years ago in Buena Vista, Colorado, and fell in love with running as a way to explore. Throughout my running career as a high school and college runner, I had wonderful coaches that inspired me to become a coach myself. As your coach, I will be fully invested in helping you build your fitness to pursue your goals.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy has developed from over 20 years of running through different seasons of life. I create personalized training plans that are centered around evidence-based training practices. However, from my coach mentors, I have learned that each athlete is unique, and a great training plan requires a good coach-athlete relationship. I believe that your "why" is one of the most important parts of achieving your goals and should be identified to help drive your training. I see it as my responsibility to truly get to know you. I will work hard to identify what inspires you and lean into your motivations to shape your training to promote long-term growth.
