About Me

Hello fitness friends, let me introduce myself those who are new to my coaching. For many consecutive years, my passion has been personal training individuals of all ages and types to reach and exceed their fitness goals and aspirations. How did I get started training for marathons triathlons, Ironman events? As former collegiate football student-athlete, probably still a little bulky, it started with just a 2-mile run with my future wife. Little did I know that running 2 miles was a lot easier said than done. After, I did a few short triathlons but focused mainly on running the beginning. I asked myself, what’s next? I began with a5k, then a 10k, then a half marathon, then said to, let’s a marathon! After finishing, told family that was the dumbest I ever did but proceeded to sign up for another race the following day. Was I? Maybe Did I start a passion the of my life? Yes. Did I have the skill and knowledge to be great at sport? Absolutely! Do I now want to help others achieve their goals? Absolutely, I am your guy and future coach! Through athletic experiences and 30 years in the business world, with coaching several, I know I can help you. My qualifications include Ironman Certified Coach, USA Triathlon Level I Certified Short Course Coach, specializing in coaching Clydesdale and Athena athletes' single endurance sport athletes, long course, short, and strength and conditioning.
