Coach Bio

As a Physical Therapy Assistant and self-coached triathlete, I blend clinical science with a winning edge. I’ve broken tape at Augusta, won my AG over 6 times, and maintained a 3-year podium streak. My approach focuses on injury prevention and sustainable, high-performance programming. Whether transitioning to sprints or chasing an IRONMAN PR, I provide the physiological expertise and race-proven strategy to get you to the front of the pack.

Success in endurance sports is the intersection of physiology and discipline. As a elite triathlete and former Physical Therapy Assistant, I use a clinical, evidence-based approach centered on metabolic precision. My philosophy focuses on optimizing the aerobic engine through lactate-controlled intensity, ensuring you arrive at the start line faster and fresher.

I don’t just coach from a textbook; I coach from the front of the pack. By applying principles of threshold density and strict intensity control to my own training, I have reached the top of the podium at both overall and age-group levels.

Coaching Philosophy:

Controlled Intensity: Utilizing specific sub-threshold intervals to maximize aerobic capacity while minimizing autonomic stress and burnout.

Clinical Durability: My PTA background ensures movement efficiency and musculoskeletal health, building a frame capable of handling elite-level loading.

Self-Coached Excellence: I’ve refined a system that balances science with execution, resulting in a 3-year podium streak and an overall win at Augusta.

Credentials & Achievements:

Overall Winner: 70.3 Augusta.

6x Age Group Winner: 100% podium rate since 2023.

IRONMAN FL: 9:11:04 (28th Overall).

Education: PTA specializing in athletic longevity.

Whether transitioning to sprints or chasing a long-course PR, I provide the scientific strategy to turn potential into results. Let’s build your engine.
