I have been coaching and training athletes since my freshman year of college in 2009. I have coached pole vault for all of District 11 in Colorado Springs and am currently a pole vault coach at sky athletics. I have also coached at redline athletics in scottsdale where I trained athletes of all sports for strength and conditioning. My passion is in track and field but I enjoy coaching for many sports. I love watching athletes grow and get bigger, faster, and stronger.

I competed for three years at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in track and field. In my first year I placed second at conference in the pole vault and was injured the next two years. My fourth and fifth year were spent at Grand Canyon University competing at the D1 level where I placed 5th in the pole vault and 8th in the Decathlon at the Wac Championships.

I focus heavily on form of any exercise or drill that we do. If I am training a pole vaulter they may be frustrated with me at first because I take it down to the basics to correct any flaws in form. Proper form is vital in the pole vault as well as any sport out there. Sprint mechanics are huge and parts of every session will touch on that. In a typical session we will work on form, speed, acceleration, and power. Depending on the sport or event exercises and sessions will vary.
