I came to running later in life – my mid 30s – after a lifetime of team based sports – NCAA football – and the military, where running was not anything we did for fun. In fact, I hated running. That is until my cousin invited me to run a trail marathon in coastal Massachusetts. After that, I was hooked. The trails, the community, the challenge… I haven’t looked back since. Like Bart Yasso, I’ll race everything from 5ks, to 50ks, to 100s, to beer miles. If it sound like fun or it sounds painfully challenging I’m in.

To foster a community of athletes who are not only physically prepared for the challenges of endurance running but are also mentally resilient, environmentally conscious, and supportive of one another.

My professional foundation in clinical mental health, educational psychology, and as a certified XPT Performance Breathing Coach, combined with my personal passion and dedication to ultra-distance trail running, allows me to offer a comprehensive and deeply informed approach to coaching. This fusion of clinical insight and ultra-running experience equips me to support athletes not only in achieving their physical endurance goals but also in mastering the mental and emotional challenges that are intrinsic to the sport.
