For me, running is not just a hobby, it's a way of life. I started running when I was 39 due to some health concerns. So, I set out with a goal of just one mile and after many ups and downs, I have run marathons and ultras of a variety of distances. As someone who started running later in life, my goals are focused on longevity in sport and being a part of the sport as long as possible.

​

In addition to being an ultra runner, I am UESCA certified as an Ultra Running coach and a UESCA certified Running coach. I am the co-host of the Blueprint to Ultra podcast, and co-host of the Ultra Running Guys podcast that ended in October 2024. 

​

My passion for coaching is to help runners take their next step on their ultra running journey. But, if an ultra is not what you are ready for, I will be happy to get you started as a runner to hit any other distance that you may have set your eyes on. But, yeah, I am going to tempt you to the ultra world along the way.

Are you ready to run with me?
