Runner

For over 40 years I have had a love of running, since that 1st 1 mile Lollipop race in elementary school. As an elite runner, I have competed in high school and college Cross Country and Track and Field. After college I trained and competed in multiple road races from the 5k through Marathon, with over 30 road marathons finishes.

When I turned 40, I started trail running and now competes in ultra trail races--50K, 100K, and 100 mile distances. I turned to a plant-based lifestyle to improve my recovery and now competes just as well as I did in my 20's. I have been in the sports, fitness and recreation industry for over 30 years, creating many programs and coaching kids and adults to meet and exceed their own goals. I hold a bachelor's degree in Sports and Exercise Science. I have been married for over 28 years, have 4 children and I love spending time with my family when I'm not running those long miles on the trail.

Looking for that coach that will take the time to work with you and share their years of experience.... look no further I'm ready to get you off and running.
