More About Jeff

Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, my first passion for endurance sports was running. Though I ran cross-country in high school and college, I didn’t get back into endurance sports until age 35 when I decided it was time to lose weight and get healthy.

I focused on running/road racing for many years but transitioned to triathlon in 2007. With over 75 races since 2007, I’ve raced all distances from Sprint to Ironman. In 2009, I began focusing on long-course racing competing in many halves and Ironman distance races.

My passion is to work with motivated and goal-oriented athletes who are trying to manage families and challenging careers – who just need help putting all of the pieces together. My coaching philosophy centers around thoughtful goal-setting, acting on available performance information and feedback, and creating shared accountability between the athlete and the coach.
