What makes you amazing?

I’ve walked the same journey as my athletes, juggling work, family, and training.

Strong on data analysis (power, pace, heart rate), but equally focused on mindset.

I don’t just coach athletes to finish, I coach them to grow confidence and enjoy the process.

Hobbies way from sport:

Family time with my wife and son.

Exploring food and coffee culture – I always have time for a Seattle coffee.

Reading and continuous learning (finance, performance science & psychology of sport)

Favourite Race/s:

Ironman World Championship Kailua Kona, Hawaii (the ultimate test and dream race)

Ironman South Africa (home ground, world-class event)

Comrades Marathon (nothing compares to Africa’s greatest ultra marathon)

Local triathlons and cycle races that build community spirit.
