I started Brooklyn Distance Running in 2012 to help runners develop their knowledge, skill, and passion for the sport. I train runners of all abilities for a variety of distances–from beginner to veteran, from 1 mile to 100 miles, and from local tracks and parks to distant trails and mountains. I combine a strong knowledge of endurance training with a highly individualized approach to coaching. I have a keen interest in the mental side of running, and work hard to develop my runner's full potential, and not just their physical fitness, as I believe the greatest success and longevity in this sport–as in life–comes from trying to understand what motivates you and makes you happy.

I have an equal love of road and trail running, and I tend to split my own training and racing between asphalt and dirt. I've raced numerous half-marathons, marathons, and ultra-marathons. My trail running adventures have taken me from the historic alpine trails of the Dolomites, to scorching deserts of the Southwest, to the Kalalu trail in Kauai, to up in the high country in the Rockies.
