I coach because I want to leave a positive impact on those I encounter and change the projection of their path. The people I've worked with over the course of my career have inspired me to give my absolute best. I feel responsibility in the area of physical preparation and desire to share my knowledge with others.

I motivate people by reminding them why they started. I'm honest with the people I train and tell them the things we are doing will be hard. I remind people that the tough stuff is momentary but it is the key to our desired outcome. I also rarely but occasionally bribe...

First and foremost I love spending time with my two kids and wife, they are the BEST part of my life. I also really enjoy hiking through the mountains, marathon running, playing ice hockey, mowing the lawn, and going for walks around the neighborhood.

Moneyball, Pursuit of happyness, Miracle (all corny inspirational movies, my wife chirps me regularly for that.)
