I grew up in Indiana and started running 5Ks recreationally at 15. After graduating from college, I moved to Portland, Oregon, where I’ve spent the past few years training for and running marathons. Discovering endurance running in my twenties brought a deep sense of meaning and purpose to my life. I’ve not only fallen in love with the sport itself, but also with watching others discover that same passion.

I believe coaching is a partnership built on continuous learning, trust, and clear communication. I stay current with coaching science and best practices and bring that knowledge to every running program I help create with you. I design plans with you—not for you—so your goals, strengths, and feedback shape the process. I’ll be honest and direct: I will push you when growth requires it and teach you to hold back when it protects your long-term progress. I’ll teach you to understand your body, recognize limits, and make smart training choices. Together we’ll pursue your goals with patience, accountability, and a focus on sustainable improvement.
