I served eleven years as an infantry and operations officer. I graduated Ranger School, went back as an instructor, and competed in Best Ranger. In 2024 the Army medically retired me. In the hospital I was told I might not walk normally again, and that I might never run.

I rebuilt from the floor up, and running is how I did it. Since then I have run two marathons, a half marathon, 15 laps at a Backyard Ultra, and the Pikes Peak Ultra 50 miler with more than 10,000 feet of climbing.

How I coach: every plan starts with a test, not a template. Your paces and your loads come from numbers you produced, and they climb by percentage from there. Easy days easy. Hard days hard. Rest days rest. No junk miles, no random effort. Every session has a purpose and every week builds on the last.

My plans on TrainingPeaks: Half Marathon: Run Strong, AFT Two Mile: Run Strong, and CFT Ready: Run Strong for the Army's new Combat Field Test.

I take a small number of one on one athletes at $250 a month, plus a $150 start that covers a diagnostic test week and your first block of training. Message me and I will tell you straight whether I am a good fit.I am a UESCA Certified Running Coach and a retired Army Infantry Major.
