After a brief law career and having my three sons, I discovered the sport of triathlon and realized how much I had missed being an endurance athlete. I was a competitive swimmer throughout my childhood and college years and needed to rediscover the "athlete" in me! I competed in my first sprint triathlon in 2005 and loved it. Over the next 13 years, I progressed from shorter distance racing to the half and full Ironman distance. Over the years, I have completed 11 full distance Ironman races and 10 Half Ironman races. About five years ago, I created the Tri4Him Junior Elite Team in Houston and have coached over 200 youth triathletes since the team's inception. I love helping kids learn about the sport of triathlon and enjoy seeing them discover a new confidence and strength in themselves. Last year, I co-founded HissyFit Racing, which is a women-based tri team that provides support and advancement for women in triathlon. My love for coaching the kids team led me to my coaching career at the adult level. I coach all types of triathletes, encouraging them to pursue their ultimate goals and teaching them every aspect of the sport. It is my goal to provide them with a thorough understanding of their Tridot training plan and advise them daily in their workouts, nutrition, and mental fitness. As a swim expert, I provide extensive swim analysis and instruction for my athletes. I love being on the pool deck and instructing my athletes! There is nothing greater than to see their swim stroke evolve, making them more efficient and faster swimmers! Mostly, I love seeing each of my team member rediscover the "athlete" that is within each of them!
