About Daniel

I have been enthralled by the problem-solving process that goes hand in hand with endurance training for as long as I can remember. I am an Engineer, so the process of working through unforeseen challenges and being able to adapt to changing circumstances comes naturally to me. I work hard to maintain a growth mindset and I recognize that every challenge presents an opportunity to learn and improve. With over 20 years of endurance training experience, along with significant strength training history, I am very excited to support others on their journey to improved fitness and life!

Coaching Philosophy

I am a lifelong athlete, and that is the vision I have for everyone that works with me. I take a manageable approach to training based on athlete needs, goals, and experience. My objective is to achieve maximum fitness while minimizing the risk of injury, sickness, or burnout. I use athlete feedback to inform programming with regard to risk-tolerance, adaptation, and availability to train.

I believe that by staying consistent, optimal adaptation can occur over appropriate time scales while minimizing the risk of injury. My goal is to keep athletes healthy and make sure that love-of-sport isn't compromised in the pursuit of short-term fitness improvement. I value building long-term relationships with individuals, and I am motivated by the opportunity to support others in the pursuit of audacious goals.
