Being fit is only part of the equation, nutrition, goal setting, mental and physical endurance make an athlete. A strong mind needs cultivation and it needs peace. I am an avid reader and life long learner, I learn from my athletes and endeavor to grow with them. I am goal focused and believe that without a goal we drift, we lack drive and motivation.

My life revolves around running, fitness and community. I am an Event Director at Park run, run a local run club, write on running community issues, assist in planning and running local events, and work part time in a running specialist store in Hawkes bay. My wife is an age group Triathlete at world national level so between us log 25-30 hours of training a week and this dominates our experience. My focus Event this year is Kings Backyard (PB 34, Aim 52), and Blue Lakes 24 with a goal of 186+ km.
