About Me:
Most of my four years of high school, I set PR after PR. This continued in college, where I became a 5-time All-American and competed at the 2000 Olympic Team Trails. After college, I continued my successes at a second Olympic Trails and as a member of Tram USA in Rome. My years as a collegiate coach led me to helping some of the best small school runners to National Championships. Nowadays, I spend many hours running as an endurance athletes and coaching high schoolers.
How I can help you improve your game:
Through dedication, trust, and patience, anyone can improve their running abilities.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
All sessions begin with a quick overview on the plan for the day. It continues with a short warm-up and flexibility drills. The main workout will depend on the day and plan for the week. This portion could include a run of intervals, repeats, tempo, or distance. This can take anywhere from 20-40 minutes. The session ends with a short cool-down and 5 to 10 minutes of core.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- Assistant Cross-Country Coach @ Spring Hill College, Mobile, AL (2002-2004) - Assistant Cross-Country Coach @ Virginia Intermont College, Bristol, VA (2005-2006) - Volunteer Assistant Cross-Country and Track Coach @ University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Kenosha, WI (2006-2009) - Head Coach @ Southeast Wisconsin Track Club (2006-2020) - Head Boys Cross-Country Coach @ Case High School, Racine, WI (2019-2024)
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I've ever had is my father. Not only did he coach my a little before college and all for years of my college career, but I'm worked as a coach with him at the high school I am currently at. He has taught me so much about his 50 years as a coach, not just as father-and-son, but as a fellow coach.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am here for you. Whatever you want to do, I can find a way to make it happen. It may take some modifications, but patience is key.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
