Experience : 15 Years Training and Counting

I constantly work hard to be fit, keep a healthy balanced life while challenging my body, testing my limits.  I try to put into practice in my own life, what I suggest for my clients.  I always want to experience first hand any component of a health and fitness plan before I put it into any plan for my clients.  I always say, "I am my own best guinea pig". 


I have used my knowledge from training for sub 3 hour marathons and dozens of ultra-marathons to train hundreds of marathoners and beginner runners, adventure seekers, as well as many long distance tri-athletes. 
 
Fortunately, I have been able to free myself from many of my life's ailments through my own quest for truth and knowledge in the health field with this perspective.  Over my life I have learned that we have an incredible power within us to be anything we desire.  Having a health concern is simply a minor roadblock that we can overcome, if you choose to do so.  With this attitude, I have successfully cured myself of Gastro-intestinal Reflux Disorder (GERD) that plagued me from a young child until my early twenties.  I have completely eliminated anxiety and depression created by poor nutrition and lifestyle habits.  I am able to keep my diagnosis of ADHD at bay through implementing healthier lifestyle, exercise, life/stress balance and nutritional protocols.  

Some of my clients have completed:
Over 100 Marathons and ultra-marathons
Climbs to Mount Kilimanjaro
Treks to Base Camp Everest
Week long Back-Country Skiing Excursions
1/2 "Ironman" Triathlon
   
For the past 20 years, I have learned a vast amount knowledge in the fields of nutrition, holistic sciences, physical and physiological assessment, and exercise design.  All of which I incorporate into in practice and personally tailored plans for each of my clients .  
My 25 years in competing in endurance based events and pushing myself to the limits of my body, I have learned what it takes to get results.  Including all aspects of proper training fitness, recovery, coordination, muscle balance and stress/life balance.  

If you are looking to accomplish amazing strength, endurance based goals or events, you have come to the right place!

I have had many client's complain of unresolved digestive problems, shoulders, hip and back pain, trouble losing body fat, overwhealming lifestyle stress, and over all ill-health.  Most have been in left to drug medication, self medicating or physical therapy only ending up with poor results at best.  Through proper analysis of lifestyle, client medical history, stress levels and nutritional and physiological diagnostics a clearer picture of the problem can be seen.  This clarity will allow easier path to travel.  
As I have said, what I have experienced first hand is incorporated into the plans of my clients.  When you have the right tools you can make change!

My Personal Interests
I love running and training for long distance endurance races, having completed numerous marathons and ultra-marathons (races over 50km). I prefer to run on trails and hilly terrain, simply spending time with nature. I am passionately interested in travel, meditation, the metaphysical part of life, contemplating our existence and the power of the human consciousness and physical body.  Of course, before all of this, I enjoy spending my free time with my family--Pamela and my kids Rileigh, Rowan, Rhys and my dog Blu.
