My background in endurance sports has been extensive. Since 1980, I have raced throughout the world in triathlons and ultra-distance running events. My major accomplishments in triathlons are as follows: 1) Three Time Top 10 Finisher - Ironman World Championships; 2) Two Time Winner - Ultraman World Championships; 3) Two Time Age Group Winner - Ironman North American Championship; 4) Ironman All World Athlete - Ranked #1 in the World - Age Group - @ the Ironman distance in 2015 - 2106. In addition, I have qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in 2016 - 2018. While my children were growing up, I had less time for training in three disciplines and focused on running. My running accomplishments are as follows: 1) Two Time Top 10 Finisher - Leadville 100 Mile Trail Run; 2) USA Track & Field 24 Hour Champion - 140 miles; and 3) 48 Hour Age Group National Record Holder - 200 miles. My M.A. degree from San Diego State University in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Psychology has been extremely helpful as a coach. I have served as an age group AAU swimming coach, high school cross country and Track & Field Coach, and was fortunate to coach swimming, cross country, and Track & Field at a community college in San Diego. While serving as an AAU swimming coach, I worked with swimmers at the Junior National level. While serving as a high school cross country and Track & Field coach, my athletes qualified for the State Championship. Furthermore, while serving as a community college swimming coach, cross country coach, and Track & Field coach, my athletes and teams participated at the state level and very proud to have coached three All-American swimmers.
