Precision-built training from triathlete to D1 runner.

I grew up doing competitive swimming and triathlons and then transitioned to running during high school. With proper coaching and dedication to the little things, I eventually achieved my goal of running at a Division 1 Power 5 school. I bring that same patience, structure, and belief to every athlete I coach.

  • Strengths: middle-distance, technical feedback, and building sustainable weekly rhythms.
  • Coaching vibe: clear, organized, and supportive with honest accountability.

Competitive energy and Big Ten racing insight.

From average small-school runner to state champion.I started as a pretty ordinary runner at a small high school without many resources. Once I got obsessed with training and committed to learning the sport, I started to see real results. The work added up and eventually turned into three state titles at my senior state meet. Now I coach by giving athletes the clear structure and information I wish I had earlier.

  • Strengths: long-distance development, practical training progression, and athlete accountability.
  • Coaching vibe: straightforward, structured, and focused on long-term growth.
