Chances are that you've been through some crazy experiences in life! I believe we're all a product of our past...good and bad. This has helped shape my beliefs and drive to help athletes like you navigate difficult times and injury or as we say..."muddy waters."

Growing up wasn't always smooth sailing for me. Maybe you can relate. From being the victim of bullying and past-traumatic events, I've learned firsthand how the combination of various factors can lead to pain, injury, and hardship.

When the going got tough, I turned to sport and training as a refuge. Swimming, biking, and running always seemed to afford me inner peace, solace, and escape. Physical challenges, such as Ironman, were relative to my struggles and hardships.

When my health started to take a turn for the worse, I wasn’t sure where to turn. At this point in my life, I should've been firing on all cylinders. I went from being one of the top age-group Ironman athletes in the world to not being able to walk to my mailbox without feeling like I was gonna collapse. My world seemed to be caving in. I didn't know where to turn or how to get myself out of this grave situation. I had to face the music and embrace the complexity of my ecosystem, which included stressors beyond the physical demands of training...work, family, friendships, sleep, fueling, etc. It wasn’t until I took an aerial view of my situation that I began to reclaim my grip.

As I reflect on my life up to this point, a lot of my hardships seem to parallel the challenges we often face as (endurance) athletes and individuals.

We all train to work through trying times. Look...I don’t see people when things are peachy. It’s not until pain and injury rear their head that folks reach out. When you work with me, it's important that we truly connect to make sense of your thoughts and feelings.

These days it's an honor and privilege to be in a position where I can troubleshoot with individuals going through difficult times. I want to create a safe space that allows us to have open and honest discussions while helping you gain clarity on your situation.

Nothing's worse than finding yourself in a position where you need help and have nowhere to turn. I'm here to help cast a light on a sensible path for you. Injuries, lackluster performances, and pain are things I want to help you transcend so you can lead a healthy, active, and fulfilling life.
