Bio
My running career started after I joined the US Army in 1998. Running was a daily work requirement but, after recognizing that I had an aptitude for it, I began competing soon after at shorter races and sprint triathlons. At my debut half marathon in 2003, I achieved a top 10 overall finish and an age group win. Since that time I have competed at every distance from 5K to 100 miles and have competed in several sprint and Olympic-distance triathlons and adventure races.
Before retiring from federal service in 2018, I had the honor of becoming a Master Resilience Trainer for the Army and serving as the Director of Human Performance for Fort Carson, Colorado and The 4th Infantry Division. After retirement I decided to combine my two main passions running and helping others develop their resilience by becoming a professional athlete and endurance coach.
Currently I am focused on completing the 4 Deserts Grand Slam - a series of four 155-mile self supported stage races held around the globe - visit www.racingtheplanet.com
Other races completed:
- Brew to Brew 44 mile
- Bear Chase 50 mile & 100K
- Salt Flats 100 mile
- Children of the Cane 50K
- Rattler 50K
- Desert Rats 50K
- Multiple Run Disney events (10K & 13.1 including age group and masters division podium finishes)
- Memphis in May and Deserts Edge Olympic-distance Triathlons
I also provide comprehensive race planning consultations and crewing/pacing services for ultra-distance events in the Rocky Mountain region.
