      Personal Training and Triathlon Coach

      Horizons Training is about developing athletes to their fullest potential, seeing what each is capable of, and looking forward to the next goal. Every athlete knows what they have accomplished already; it is what we can accomplish now and next week that keeps us motivated. It's about taking in the view from where we are and seeing the horizon ahead, chasing it to see what's on the other side.

      Head Swim Coach

      In this unique opportunity, I work with mothers and daughters to improve women's involvement in sport, athletics, and fitness activity. Creating a space for women who may have been discouraged from taking time for their own athletics to break free from their comfort zones is a challenge I relish. As mothers, we spend a lot of time getting our children to their practices and neglect our own, often feeling selfish when we try to do something for ourselves. This program teaches women and their daughters to take the time, learn something new, and find something they can be passionate about their whole lives. Show less
