Who I Am

Who I Am

I’m a certified running coach based in Vancouver, Canada, with more than 30 years of experience in running and triathlon.

I’ve coached runners of all levels - from beginners running their first 5K to athletes preparing for half marathons and triathlons.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based training principles. Every runner receives guidance that supports steady, sustainable progress without injury.

My Philosophy

My Philosophy

My Philosophy

I don’t believe coaching is only about speed. I believe in the warmth of community, the joy of movement, the confidence that grows step by step, and the personal transformation that running brings into our lives. I guide runners to find their own rhythm, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey without pressure or comparison. When running feels meaningful and supportive, people don’t just become stronger runners - they become stronger humans.
