I have lifelong experience in competitive athletics (swimming, triathlons, cycling and running), outdoor education and leadership, and coaching. I have been a championship sprint and distance swimmer, professional triathlete in all distances, and top ultra runner. I have taught outdoor skills (e.g., survival, safety, rock climbing, canoeing). I have coached individual athletes and groups of all ages and abilites in swimming, running and triathlons.

My mission is to create opportunities for individuals to discover thru improved body awareness what is possible when one learns to move efficiently in physical activites.
