About JOHN

John started out at age five as a competitive age group swimmer and competed as an NCAA Division II swimmer in college.  He has been involved in triathlon and endurance sports for over 25 years. When he is not coaching, he can be seen competing in all levels of triathlon events but specializes in full (140.2) and half (70.3) distance events and challenges himself in various road running and bicycle races.  

He understands how hard it is to balance, work, home life and training and is ready to guide you through this challenge of fitting it all in.  His coaching philosophy is to listen to his athletes, ask questions to understand how things are progressing and assist in figuring out the best plan forward to help you meet all your goals. 

He has completed 10 Iron distance events and 15 Half Iron events and has qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. 

He would like all his athletes to have fun, learn some new skills, challenge themselves, embrace the journey, and enjoy the results and benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
