I grew up in Paradise, CA and ran track and cross country at Paradise Junior High, Paradise High School, and Butte College.  While running track I met and built relationships with many friends that I still keep in touch with today.  After living outside of California for 12 years I returned in 2018 to teach and coach in my home town of Paradise.  Currently I coach cross country and track with Paradise schools.  My goal as a coach is always for my athletes to become better in all aspects of life: character, sportsmanship, and athletic ability are three pillars the program will be built around.  Cross country provides an avenue where all ability levels can compete and grow in these areas.  I look forward to running with you!
