When my four years of eligibility were over I enjoyed some time off from competition.  During this time I found out I didn’t care much for idle exercise. . . I needed something to train for.  I bought my first bike in Feburary 2008 and did my first multisport race at the Turtle Crawl Triathlon down in Jekyll Island in May.  I discovered I had some talent for triathlon and since then I have worked my way up to the 70.3 distance placing 2nd in my first 70.3 race with a time of 4:17.  As a member of The Sport Factory Elite Team I have achieved multiple Sprint and Olympic distance race wins, including Tugaloo and Emerald Pointe, and even qualified for my Elite (pro) card.  I enjoy helping others learn about this great sport and grow as I have.
 
I have a mind that never sleeps and desire to master all the technical aspects of the sport.  I want to help others train more effectively towards their goals in multisport and remove the inefficiencies from the training process.  I want to help athletes avoid the mistakes I made before I started being coached by The Sport Factory, and integrate a uniquely balanced training plan into their individual lives.
 
I enjoy working with athletes of all levels- from juniors to senior and from beginners to elites.  I have been coaching swimming for years and greatly enjoy applying my knowledge to triathlon.  I read extensively about cycling, running, exercise science, and nutrition.  If I had known this stuff was so fascinating, I would have majored in it.  I want to not only create the best custom training plans, but to be able to answer every question thrown at me as well.  If I don’t know the answer to a question I will tap every resource available or test it myself until I reach a valid conclusion.  In this way I challenge myself as your coach just as I challenge myself as an athlete.
