Biography:

A little bit about who I am and where I came from. I am Married with 3 children my youngest is going to be a senior this year at Mountain View.  I am originally from Monroeville, PA (Pittsburgh) I started running distance when I was 11 years old. I began running because I had asthma and my doctor had advised me if I didn’t over do it that running could help build up my lungs. I ran both Track and Cross Country in High School and received a scholarship to run in College. I completed my first Marathon 26.2 miles when I was a freshman in HighSchool ( I do not recommend this as I have paid dearly over the years and my coach was not very happy me.) I started coaching in 2002 as the Head Cross Country Coach for the Brush Beetdiggers in 2005 the girls team was runner up at the State meet. During those years we won several Regional and league titles on both the girls and boys teams which qualified for state as a team almost every year. In 2012 I Coached the 3A boys XC State champion who also won the 1600 and 3200 in Track in 2013.  While in Brush I was a restaurant owner, Volunteer Firefighter for over 15 years and started an online ordering business for food delivery called OrderUp. We moved to Loveland in the Fall of 2014 because my business OrderUp was growing and the restaurant in Brush was having building and landlord issues. I helped Coach Kevin Clark the last 2 seasons at Mountain View as our girls team won the State XC meet in 2014 and Boys Track team won State this season.
