I coach to serve others and love them through this area of life that God has blessed me tremendously in.

When considering training, I lead with the philosophy that I don’t train runners; I train athletes. That sets the course for my programming: multifaceted, science-based, and built around the whole person. Not just a plan but working with your schedule, athletic background, previous injuries, and current life demands to reach your goal.

I believe in incorporating strength and nutrition to build durable, fast athletes who find challenging adventures life giving.

I am an accidental hybrid athlete – I love both lifting and running. Having started my endurance career on a mountain bike in high school, I’ve been a cyclist for over 20 years. I am an age-group competitive runner who runs up to 50k events, a strength athlete, and a nutritionist. My perfect day starts with a long run as the sun rises, a big breakfast with my wife and kids, the morning at the park, a light lunch before heading out for a bike ride, and then making homemade pizza and chicken on the grill as we watch a 90’s sitcom. I also love the mountains, cooking, coffee, candy, and donuts.

My biggest breakthrough came when I ran the Oklahoma half marathon championship, and I won my age group and placed in the top 5 overall but more importantly proved to myself that the years of training were all worth it. As I toed the line, I was both at peace with the work I had put in and the race plan I had put together. I surpassed my goal and left the race smiling ear to ear.
