About Me

• From New Zealand, I grew up in the South Island, a playground for sports and adventure; this fuelled a passion for being active in the outdoors, surfing, snowboarding and running.
• I played rugby to a high level through school and university, representing province through the age groups.
• Qualified as a Chartered Accountant I went on to have a 15-year London city career to Associate Director level. I use the skills learned in my professional career to bring a highly organised and analytical approach to my coaching.
• I discovered triathlon during my time in London and have 10 years' experience as a competitive coached age group triathlete, having completed 8x Ironman, 8x 70.3, and competing at world championships across both distances including Kona 2024.
• I have been an Ironman certified coach since 2022 and work with age group athletes of all abilities, from first timers to world championship qualifiers.
• I have always had the challenge of balancing the demands of a young family, career, city-living, and training, so feel an empathy with many of the athletes that I work with. It's a case of getting to understand the athlete's situation, their strengths and limiters, then putting together a dynamic program for the individual.
• I am fully focused on endurance sports coaching having left my city career.
