Coach

As an Idaho native, I grew up with a love for the outdoors. I lived to mountain bike, snowboard, and play soccer. My first exposure to triathlon was watching those first epic Ironman races on ABC’s Wide World of Sports.

While I’ve been a cyclist for as long as I can remember, it wasn’t until I was in college at Washington State University, that I discovered running.  I remember my first few runs as being incredibly tough, but I always looked forward to the next one.

Shortly after I graduated, I moved to Portland, Oregon. It was here that I developed my passion for cycling. I bought my first road bike and rode whenever I had the time, no matter the weather.

I’ve participated in all distances of triathlon and am a two-time finisher of Ironman Arizona. I have found triathlon to be an incredibly rewarding addition to my life, and now I look forward to sharing my knowledge with the athletes I have the priviledge to work with.

Currently, I am working toward becoming a certified USA Triathlon coach.
