Coach's Racing Highlights

I'm a full-time running coach, ski instructor, athlete and photographer living in Southern New Hampshire. In July 2020, I left my music teaching career to devote myself entirely to coaching. Click Home to find out more about my coaching, and check out some of the team results here.

​

I started running in 2013, and have definitely caught the bug. I've been blessed to run with and be supported by Altra Running, Honey Stinger, SWAP Team and acidotic RACING over the years.

 

I enjoy running in the mountains, and running trails, but I run my fair share of roads as well. Running is a joy for me because I enjoy being in nature, like discovering what my body is capable of, and have fun exploring my limits. Running a mountain trail is certainly the closest I’ll ever come to flying! My primary goal is to love every minute, and stay healthy so I can keep running into old age. 

​

Running has taken me to some incredible places — a cross-country tour through the National Parks, mountain summits, and trails I never would have found otherwise. It's also opened the door to every other way I love to move outdoors: biking, skiing, kayaking, hiking. If it's outdoors and self-powered, I'm in — and if I can bring my camera along, even better.

​

These past few years have found me racing a lot less. My focus temporarily shifted to building this business, with a few health bumps to work around along the way. I'm working my way back to it now — maybe not chasing the times below anymore, but the consistency and the adventure, which were always the real point. In the meantime, the bigger thrill has been watching the athletes I work with chase down goals well past anything I ever managed myself.
