When I was younger, I was told I would never be a runner. As a football player, I wanted to learn how to run faster. At the time, I was an offensive linemen and was told I didn't need to learn to run. Since that moment, I strived to prove them wrong. I lost 60 pounds, joined my junior college track team, and ran the 1500 and 800. After junior college I began running in triathlons and started working on all three disciplines. I discovered I that I could compete and simply loved learning new things about the sport. Soon after, I earned my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology. I then went into the fire service and worked up and down the state of California ,and eventually held my dream job for the Lodi Fire Department. While there, I still wanted something more. I began reading books by Jack Daniels, Matt Fitzgerald, Ben Bergeron, Alex Hutchinson, Brad Hudson, Timothy Galley, Steve Magness, and Ryan Hall. I was listening to a podcast with Ryan Hall and from that the fire was born to become a marathoner and running coach. Running alongside Ryan while asking questions about his book might be a highlight of my running career. From that day on, I've pursued coaching and letting people like me go ahead and know that you are a runner. Running is for everyone and I can help you realize that. We can make you a faster, more efficient runner.
