specialist statement
As a triathlete and coach I hope to help inspire, coach, engage, and educate athletes of all ages & abilities to reach their true potential. I'm a glass half full kind of guy and I can help you find the best in a situation. As an athlete I've failed so much because I was willing to risk a lot to learn. Learn from my failures in a pursuit of excellence over a 23 year career . As a Coach I'm committed to helping each athlete find a way to get to their best.
