I specialize in 5k to Marathon road races, but have had success training for and running trail marathons and multi-stage marathon relays such as the Pike’s Peak Ascent and Blue Ridge Relay.

My core training philosophy is that rest, recovery, and fueling are just as important as running itself.

I had been involved in youth coaching programs throughout high school, given successful advice to friends and family members who were training for their first road races (5k-Marathon) and/or recovering from injury, and I have coached myself with success to a 2:23 marathon.

Outside of running, I am a full-time aerospace engineer. I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, and traveling to new and interesting places. I have a growing interest in reading and writing; I sometimes study foreign languages; and I have two cats named Newton and Kelvin.

I believe that almost all training philosophies have merit and a time/place for their uses. In my own training I’ve had success constructing plans using the aerobic base building of Lydiard, the 80/20 rule for week-week planning, Hanson’s method of training through cumulative fatigue, and using “intuitive” perceived exertion as a guide for effort before looking to other metrics like heart rate and power output.

My most memorable race was the 2026 Boston Marathon. It was the culmination of my second-ever marathon training block in which I drastically improved my training structure, fueling strategy, and overall fitness. The result was not only a faster time (2:45->2:23) but also a more enjoyable race in which I avoided hitting the wall, negative split the race, and ran two back-to-back half-marathon PRs.
