I’ve spent most of my life in motion—literally. As a triathlete, I’ve chased finish lines, learned to respect the grind, and found a kind of peace in the rhythm of swim, bike, run. That same energy carries into everything I do, especially coaching. For over 25 years, I’ve worked alongside athletes of all levels, helping them build strength, confidence, and a deeper connection to their bodies. And with 30 years of swim instruction under my belt, I’ve seen it all—from first-time water jitters to seasoned competitors fine-tuning their stroke.
I'm always learning and incorporating science into your training. However the human component is just as important. Life doesn't follow a training plan, and my goal is to help you make the decisions to live a full life which includes your fitness goals. The plan address the training, and the human (that's me!) addresses the everyday challenges. We will get to your goals together.
