About Chris

I come from a dance background, so I have a really good understanding of how the body moves. I have been a runner for over 8 years, and began coaching a couple of years ago to share my passion and experience with others. Teaching has always been very fulfilling to me, and I am excited now that I am a certified UESCA Ultra Running Coach to share my expertise with my community. I am 46 years old and live in Las Vegas, NV with my 11 year old daughter Olivia.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe there is no substitution for hard work. If you want results you have to put in the hours of training. I take an approach that starts with injury prevention and moves into detailed programming specific to each athlete. My focus is on mountain trail and ultra running and I believe that spending time going up and down mountains builds a strong and durable athlete. Get outside. Be active. Push your limits.
