I don't have an athletic background. I'm formerly morbidly obese with many health issues and challenges. I made the decision to change my life and began to workout and started running. I could only run a minute at a time but kept going, lost a 100 lbs. and started running races. I moved straight from 5k to 50k in 1 year and have since run many ultra marathons and working towards a 100 mi distance. I have an average size body and you will find me at the back of the pack. If you are looking for an elite runner, I'm not it. I know what it's like to start at zero and to finish is a victory.

I want to meet people where they are at and help them make realistic goals. My role is to empower my clients to make the right decisions, provide them with the tools to help them reach their goals, and encourage them to continue on their journey to reach those goals. Persistence is the key to everything. Just keep showing up. We are going to make baby steps. Sometimes we may need to repeat a week or refocus and that's ok but we keep going. Life events happen, mental health and stress happens, other things get in the way but its readjusting, refocusing, and recommitting. My job as a coach is to try to help you stay on track or help you get back on track when things throw you off. It's part coach, part cheerleader. I will never judge you. My role is to fully support you the best way that I can. I pride myself on being honest and genuine. This is what you get.
