My endurance career began at the age of 13 and continued through college where I competed as a middle distance track athlete. During my collegiate career, I bested a 3:51 1500 meter run, was a 3x conference champion and 3x NCAA Championships qualifier. I first began competing in triathlons in 2006 and began coaching youth triathlons in 2010.
​
I qualified for the 70.3 Ironman World Championships during my first attempt at the distance in 2017 at Chattanooga and in 2019, I won the amateur race. By continually competing in triathlons in the surroundings areas, I have met a number of athletes that share the same passion and that has allowed me to engage with the triathlon community. As of 2019, I am fortunate to race alongside some awesome men on the Every Man Jack Triathlon Team.

Since moving to Nashville 4 years ago with my beautiful wife, my passion for the sport has grown even more and I am looking forward to developing and inspiring other athletes.
