I am an expert on running, running form, and fitness. I completed both my BA & MS from the University of Kentucky with an emphasis on Exercise Physiology. Having worked in the fitness industry since 1989, I have continued to learn, study, and develop a training system that allows me to customize workouts that go way beyond the "common goals" that people generally set for themselves. I am certified by USA Track & Field and Newton Running as a Level 1 Coach, as well as a certified personal trainer by the American College of Sports Medicine, a Food Psychology Coach from the Spencer Institute, and a professional in Functional Movement Screening and corrective exercise. I have a broad base of training knowledge, including basic and complex use of the TRX Suspension Trainer.

As a member of the elite SuperHuman coaching network, I am one of very few coaches worldwide that works to put all the pieces together, from training and nutrition to rest and recovery, to help my clients reach a level they have never seen before.

In 2011, I formed a company to promote a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and fitness, and improving athletic performance. Studying the latest in scientific research and equipment, I have the ability to apply that knowledge from the world of sport science to help my athletes take their performance to the next level.

I currently serve as the Vice President of a runners club in my city and as the Fitness Consultant to a men's cancer awareness organization.

I have become a sought after speaker and presenter on the topics of running & running form, sports performance, nutrition, fat loss, and sports nutrition for endurance athletes.

I am available for initial consultations to discuss and uncover the best way I can help you in your training program.

First "Training" Sessions are always a Functional Movement Screening to identify any movement based discrepancies or pattern issues. From there a work-up of corrective exercises are prepared.

For Running Form Clients: Gait and form analysis, foot & shoe analysis, then a program of transition to a more Natural and efficient running form that includes drills for preparing the body, a set program of distance/time for weekly running, strengthening, mobility, and flexibility are all custom designed to the individual runner.
