Hello.

My focus is competitive mountain endurance, particularly skimo, trail racing, FKTs, and speed ascents.

Since 1996, I've pursued mountain sports from multiple perspectives: as a prairie-born beginner, a sponsored climber, a national-level skimo racer, a coach, and a lifelong student of endurance and performance.

My coaching philosophy was greatly influenced by Scott Johnston over the course of a 20-year dialogue on endurance training. I worked with Scott at Uphill Athlete before joining him again at Evoke Endurance in 2026. That same year, I completed the Hintsa Performance Coaching program, broadening my perspective beyond training to the wider factors that influence long-term performance.

This site is where I think in public. I write about training, mountain sports, coaching, and the occasional idea that doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories.
