Coaching Mission:

I know firsthand how sports can shape character, build resilience, and form a lifelong community. My mission is to invest in each athlete with intentional coaching, relentless innovation, and a Christ-centered mindset. I want to help continue a legacy that doesn’t just compete, but becomes a dominant dynasty rooted in purpose, passion, and excellence.

Personal:

I come from a close-knit family that has shaped a lot of who I am; faithful, motivated, and focused on loving people well. I’m passionate about fitness, leadership, running, and helping others grow through sport. Those things aren’t just hobbies for me—they’re part of the way I live out my calling. I competed in cross country and track & field for Asbury University, where I’m also working toward my MBA. I focus on the 1500m, 5K, and 10K. I’ve had the opportunity to race at the conference and national level, but more than the awards or times, I value what the sport has taught me: consistency, humility, and the power of team.
My day job is working as a manager at Chick-Fil-A Turfland in Lexington, Ky., but my end goal is to be a coach of a program one day.
