I have participated in over 20 marathons with some favorites being Marine Corps, Paris, Boston, Portland, St. George and Chicago. I have had the honor of qualifying for the Army National Guard Marathon Team and recruiting other runners to compete. Through this, I ran with competitive athletes and learn a lot about what it takes to be the best. This built on my knowledge and allowed me to pull more out of my personal experience, and led me to seek my RRCA coaching certification. I also was on a coaching team where we trained over 130 participants, at various levels, to complete a Half / Full Marathon.
