About Me – Why I’m the Coach for You

What Makes Me Qualified for Runners Elite Coaching?

As a dedicated runner, endurance specialist, and performance coach, I don’t just teach running—I live it. My journey has taken me from struggling with endurance to cutting 50 minutes off my marathon time, and now I help runners like you achieve the same transformation—faster and smarter. Whether you're aiming for your first marathon or looking to improve your performance as a master’s runner, I’ve been in your shoes, and I know what it takes to succeed.

My Personal Running Journey

I’ve personally trained, raced, and transformed through endurance running. My experience includes:

✔️ Marathon Accomplishments – I’ve completed multiple marathons, including the Walt Disney World Marathon (2003 & 2004), where I improved my time by an incredible 50 minutes—proving that strategic training and nutrition make all the difference.
✔️ My Own Training & Transformation – As someone currently optimizing my own nutrition, strength, and mindset, I understand the process at every level and can relate to the struggles and breakthroughs runners experience.
✔️ Master’s Runner Perspective (40+) – I understand the unique challenges of training efficiently, staying injury-free, and maintaining peak performance as an older athlete.

Why It Matters: Runners trust coaches who have been through the journey themselves. I don’t just offer theory—I offer real-world results that I’ve personally achieved.

Expertise & Education – A Science-Backed Approach

I blend real-world experience with scientific training principles to create a complete coaching approach that goes beyond traditional running programs. My education includes:

✔️ ISSA Personal Training Certification (In Progress) – Ensures I provide scientifically backed strength and conditioning strategies for runners.
✔️ Running Coaching Certification (In Progress) – Once completed, this will give me an official coaching credential, adding even more credibility to my structured training approach.
✔️ John Maxwell Leadership Training – Running is not just physical—it’s mental. My background in leadership and personal development coaching allows me to guide runners not just in training, but in mental toughness, motivation, and goal-setting.

Why It Matters: The best runners don’t just train hard—they train smart. I combine both scientific knowledge and real-world running experience to provide well-rounded, proven coaching strategies.

Strength & Nutrition – A Complete Endurance Coaching Approach

Most running coaches focus only on mileage and pace—but true endurance and performance require more than just running. My approach integrates:

✔️ Strength Training for Runners – I incorporate principles from Body for Life to help runners build strength, prevent injuries, and improve running efficiency.
✔️ Endurance Nutrition & Supplementation (USANA) – Runners who fuel correctly recover faster, avoid burnout, and optimize performance. I teach a strategic nutrition system using top-tier supplements to give you the edge over your competition.

Why It Matters: You don’t need more training—you need the right training. By focusing on strength, recovery, and nutrition, I help runners reach peak performance efficiently and injury-free.

Coaching, Leadership & Business Strategy – Building a Winning Mindset

I don’t just teach running—I help runners build a winning mindset, discipline, and structure for long-term success.

✔️ Expert in Attraction Marketing & Audience Growth – I use strategic content, challenges, and coaching offers to engage and educate runners worldwide.
✔️ Structured Coaching Programs – I created “Runners Elite Edge – Eye of the Tiger” ($599), a results-driven performance coaching program that helps runners train smarter, recover faster, and unlock peak endurance.
✔️ Elite Mentorship (Brian Tracy & John Maxwell) – My leadership training ensures that I don’t just coach runners—I help them develop the mental toughness, self-discipline, and resilience needed to excel in endurance sports.

Why It Matters: Great coaching isn’t just about workouts—it’s about leadership, motivation, and transformation. My system is proven, structured, and designed for results.

Even before obtaining my official coaching certification, I’ve lived the runner’s journey, trained smart, and developed a complete endurance system that’s already helping runners improve performance, avoid injuries, and build unstoppable confidence.

“I’ve spent years testing and refining endurance strategies—personally cutting 50 minutes off my marathon time and transforming my approach to running, strength, and nutrition. Now, I help runners like you shortcut the learning curve and achieve faster, smarter results with my proven coaching system.”
