About Kasey

I’m a certified UESCA Ultrarunning Coach, Army veteran, first responder, and ultrarunner based in Washington State. I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing endurance training with shift work, stress, family life, recovery, and demanding careers. My background includes trail races, ultramarathons, strength training, and endurance coaching focused on realistic, sustainable progress.
