PHILOSOPHY
Flexibility is the biggest key for coaches, everyone is different so everyone needs something different from a coach.
Quality over Quantity junk miles are just that junk. Runs should serve a purpose.
COACHING EXPERIENCE
Less than a year as an official coach but have helped separate individuals in a non official way complete their first 5k’s, 10k’s, marathons and their first ultras.
ABOUT ME
I was in restaurant management for 30 years before I decided to finally make coaching my full time job so I understand time restraints on training. I played baseball my whole life, I also skateboarded my whole life. I went to SCAD and love the arts especially music! I’m also a huge dog lover!
BIG INFLUENCES
Jason Koop is a huge influence in training style I enjoy the science based approach to everything. Jason Green has been a huge influence just in general as how I see other people.
RACING HISTORY
I’ve ran multiple marathons and ultras. I’m not a fast runner anymore and have enjoyed both sides of racing. I’m very proud of my 8 years in a row of the Paechtree Road Race that I run with my wife.
I’m proud of my DNF’s (Yeti 100) as well as my finishes. Everything is an opportunity to meet great people and see beautiful areas of the country.
PRs
Current significant PRs:
- 5k 21:32 Battle of Byron
- 10k 48:15 Macon Labor Day Road Race
- 1/2 1:56:25 Publix Atlanta 1/2 Marathon
- 50k 6:06:17 Dam Yeti
- 100k 15:22:58 Yeti Seven Trails
All of these are within the last 6 years of running. I don’t compare myself to how I was when I was younger.
