MY BIO:

I work with non-elite athletes who are doing triathlons or any of the sub-disciplines (swim, bike, run). I enjoy working with first-time triathletes, athletes who may not be sure they can do this, athletes that are moving up in distance (such as Ironman), older athletes, and athletes who have struggled in the past with injuries.

I offer full engagements (including custom training plans) and lite engagements where I provide data-driven feedback on your current training. The latter is often a great place to start! I am also happy to help athletes focused on just one sport.

Based in the Bay Area, California, I started triathlons in my 50s. This taught me to train and care for my body without the benefit of youthful recovery. I know what it’s like to struggle, experience setbacks, and from that learned how to train sustainably based on 80/20 principles. I have done Escape from Alcatraz and Ironman California for those wanting help preparing for those events.

My motto is to help athletes train smart and race smart but most importantly be healthy.
