My passion for running began at a young age. At just 11 years old, I ran my first 5K in my hometown of Oil City, Pennsylvania. I still remember the sense of pride I felt crossing the finish line and realizing I was capable of something that seemed so challenging. That feeling sparked a love for running that has stayed with me ever since.
I have completed more than 25 marathons, including Boston, New York City, Chicago, and Berlin.
Running has become much more than a hobby or competitive pursuit for me. It is a source of confidence, resilience, and personal growth. A place where I can relieve stress and anxiety, and continuously work towards becoming my best self.
My ultrarunning journey began in 2021 with a desire to see what I was capable of beyond the marathon distance. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a passion for pushing my physical and mental limits on trails, tracks, and at timed events.
Over the years, I have completed races ranging from 5K to 100+ miles. My racing experience spans mountain trails, desert terrain, and fixed-time events where strategy, patience, and resiliency are just as important as fitness.
One of the aspects I love most about ultrarunning is its diversity.
I've competed successfully in trail races and 6, 12 and 24-hour events, earning multiple overall victories and podium finishes along the way. These experiences have taught me how to manage the highs and lows of endurance racing while developing the patience and consistency required for long-term success.
Today, those lessons help guide me as a coach.
Whether you're preparing for your first trail race, tackling your first ultramarathon, or chasing a personal best on the roads or trails, I can help you build confidence, enjoy the process and discover your full potential!
