I started running when I was 11-years-old and have been immersed in the sport ever since. I had the normal trajectory of middle school and high school cross country and track. And, went on to run and serve as team captain on the cross country and track and field teams at the University of North Carolina. After graduating, I continued competing on the track and on the roads, eventually discovering the trails in 2016. It didn’t take long to become intrigued by the ultra distances and to run my first 100 miler in Leadville in 2018.

I have 15 years of coaching experience and have coached everyone from first time runners and ultra runners to Olympic Trials marathon qualifiers and Leadville 100 podium finishers. In recent years, I’ve focused primarily on working with trail and ultra runners. I really enjoy helping others find a way to successfully fit training into their lives and find the best approach to reach their running goals.
