About Me.

I’m a coach, husband and father. I call Helena, Montana home, where I’m lucky to have trails from my door and access to some of the world’s most stunning terrain. Movement and being outside—whether trail running with my dogs, exploring on long bike rides, or experiencing winter’s wonder on cross country skis—are a huge part of my life.
 
Since 2012, I have worked with hundreds of athletes from around the world. My coaching is rooted in daily engagement in curiosity about the world around us and what the human body is capable of.  Training doesn’t have to be forced or about “getting it done”. I lead athletes with a sustainable process that takes the bigger picture into play. We are in this for the long haul.
