In college, I started as a way to keep in shape. A total rookie of the sport, I decided to dive in head first and run the Chicago Marathon. I loved every minute of it. Since then, my love of the run has grown exponentially. Over the past decade, I have climbed the distance ladder and have completed 20+ trail ultra-marathons to date. I've learned a lot along the way and love to draw upon my own experiences (triumphs and defeats) to guide my athletes to success.

My ideal athletes are those who are looking to take on their next big challenge. Whether that is your 1st half-marathon, a faster marathon, or an intimidating mountain run, I really enjoy helping athletes accomplish big goals. Working with a coach can help you keep the stoke alive, ward off injury, and be the best you that you can be. I've learned this first-hand and love to pay-it-forward with my own athletes.

In addition to road and trail running races, I also have a great deal of experience planning and training for thru-hikes, backpacking, fastpacking, FKT attempts and other self supported adventures. The crazier the better!
