My Story.
Sport has shaped nearly every chapter of my life—but not in the way I once imagined it would.
As a high school runner, I was one of the top distance-running recruits in the country. I was a 2x Illinois State Champion, Foot Locker Cross Country National Runner-Up, and represented the United States at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships. I earned a scholarship to run cross country and track at the University of Colorado Boulder with dreams of competing at the highest level.
Then, just before college, I was injured.
What I thought would be a temporary setback became the end of my collegiate running career and the beginning of a much longer journey. For years, I dealt with chronic injury and pain while trying to figure out who I was without the sport that had defined so much of my life.
That experience changed the way I understand performance.
Over the next two decades, I studied and experienced movement from many angles—strength training, physical therapy, yoga, mobility, endurance training, mindfulness and the psychology of performance. I learned that becoming a better athlete isn't simply about working harder. It's about understanding the whole person, building the right capacities, and creating training that can evolve with you.
Eventually, I found my way back to competition.
Today, in my 40s, I'm racing at a level I once thought I'd lost forever—competing internationally in Hyrox, qualifying for World Championships, winning races, and continuing to discover what my body is capable of.
But my coaching isn't about turning everyone into a competitive athlete.
It's about helping you become more capable of whatever matters to you.
That might mean becoming stronger and more resilient as you get older. Running your first 5K or your fastest marathon. Preparing for Hyrox. Building confidence after an injury. Or simply feeling strong, fit and athletic in your everyday life.
My experiences have taught me that performance is deeply personal—and that our bodies and goals continue to evolve throughout our lives.
That's why my coaching brings together body and mind, strength and endurance, performance and longevity. We start with where you are, define where you want to go, and build toward it with purpose.
