I've been riding and racing bikes and running for more than 40 years, with experience in everything from gravel and cyclocross to mountain bike, road, and track racing.

I founded Simple Endurance Coaching in 2019 to help everyday endurance athletes train with confidence, accomplish challenging goals, and keep doing the sports they love for years to come.

After more than 20 years as a middle school teacher, I now coach full time. That teaching background still shapes how I coach. I don't just want to tell athletes what workout to do—I want them to understand their training and become more confident athletes.

My approach goes beyond simply getting faster or fitter. Training should help you become stronger, healthier, more resilient, and more capable of doing hard things.

Whether your goal is a gravel race, cyclocross season, running event, or a bucket-list adventure, I believe good training should fit your life rather than take it over.

The goal isn't just reaching the finish line. It's learning to enjoy the process of training, challenging yourself, and building fitness and habits that can keep you active for the rest of your life.

I am a USA Cycling Level 1 Advanced Certified Coach and Training Peaks Level 2 cycling coach, an RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) certified coach, an RYT-200 certified yoga instructor, a certified nutrition advisor, and a NCCA-certified personal trainer. I am also SafeSport certified.
