Why do you coach?
I enjoy working with people who share the same motivations and helping them reach new levels of fitness and performance.

Why do you work for Vision Quest Coaching?
I started working with Vision Quest as a college intern because I thought it seemed like a fun and unique opportunity to be around the sport I enjoyed so much. Before long, I was taking athletes and integrating into a full-time position. I’m still here for the same reasons.
Favorite Pastime When Not Training or Coaching:
What else is there to do? Seriously, I guess I’ll say cooking new foods.
