Ben started as teacher with a masters in education. While he loved teaching, it wasn’t a fit. "I should be happy, content, I'm making a difference, but...is this all there is???”

Ben gave up his educational career and switched to fitness where he found a new love in running. Starting with the Half Marathon, Ben built up the distance and increased the elevation: (13.1 / 6,600 ft), (13.1 / 8,200 ft.), (13.1 / 10,000 ft), (13.1 / 14,265 ft), (26.2 / 14,115ft), (26.2 / 17,500 ft).

Fueled by desire to walk among giants, Ben's next milestone is summiting Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft) in 2025.

As a coach, I build up my athletes to prevent injury while building confidence and fitness while helping them balance training loads with life’s busy demands. This enables my athletes to achieve the results they want while promoting healthy habits for the future. For some of the ladies I’ve worked with, it really lights a fire inside. It gives them more energy, better sleep, and confidence as they chase down new adventures.

To me, there’s nothing better than watching someone explore beyond their potential. And you’re next level of development is waiting. So let’s flex your independence and achieve something for yourself by taking down running’s premier events!
