About Me
I was born in raised in San Diego, CA and was introduced to the sport in the late 1970's through my participation in Swim-Run-Swim events.  My first Ironman triathlon on Oahu was memorial and at that time believed this was something I would do one time in my life and move on.  I raced in triathlons throughout the world from 1980 - 1985, transitioned to being a dad and spent the next 15 years running various events, ranging from a 10K to a 48 Hour run.  My wife, Kelly has been invaluable during my athletic career and a major contributor to my success. I have competed in the IM World Championships 10 times, since 1980. <div><br></div><div>My professional career includes serving as an interscholastic high school cross country and Track & Field coach, community college swimming, cross country, and Track & Field coach, high school science teacher, high school assistant principal, high school principal, and Superintendent of Schools.</div><div><br></div><div>On July 1, 2016, I transitioned into being a triathlete coach.  I am the Founder and CEO of TriPrime, a multi-sport and performance coaching service and extremely honored to be serving as a TriDot Founding Master Coach. </div>
Coaching Philosophy
My coaching philosophy has always been to use an athlete-centered approach, get to know my athlete, and work in a collaborative many to achieve excellence.  Throughout my career, I have build greatness in my athletes and had them love the sport, embrace a healthy and balanced lifestyle, and understand the importance of grit, passion, and perseverance. Additionally, throughout my coaching career, I have been beyond gratified when athletes come back to me and thank me for being their mentor, guide, and support person during those difficult times of training and racing.
