Good News: I Can Run!!

It's so exciting to jog at a slow pace and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. I'm still on a walk-run schedule to keep my soft knee from wearing down. As I slowly build into running, the cartilage, bone, and tendons will strengthen and prepare me for a fast season. My walking intervals are getting shorter and shorter. Yay!

I'm biking father and father than ever before as well. It feels so good! This Saturday I'm planning my first outdoor ride in MONTHS! Since July 11th, 2009 to be exact. As long as it doesn't rain or snow (I'll keep my fingers crossed... it's still March and I live in Utah).

Swimming and Triathlon Coaching


I am an American Red Cross Certified Swimming Instructor. I have been teaching for 14 years and swimming for 22 years in High School, USS (United States Swimming), and College. I have raced at the local, regional, and national level.

I love to teach swimming lessons to all ages, levels, and abilities! I have a gift for working with children with disabilities and people who have a fear of the water. When I was 2 years old, I had an experience in the water that took me 14 years to overcome. That experience taught me how to assist others overcome their fear of the water.

I am also an avid Triathlete and love training triathletes. I work with triathletes and elite swimmers for stroke improvement, increased speed, increased endurance, increased power in the water and on the bike and run, and for less anxiety and fear in the water.

I have a BS in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Fitness and Wellness Management. This supports my ability to train athletes as well as help people lose weight, which is another skill I use on the side to help some of my clients. I would love to help you achieve your goals and dreams!
