About Us

That success earned me a full Division I scholarship. In college, I was a 3x all-conference runner. After graduation, I kept going: a 2:24 marathon PR, a 2:57 50k (runner-up at the USATF Road National Championships), and countless wins from 5Ks to ultras. Running was no longer just a sport, it was part of who I was.

The Triggering Event

But life has a way of testing what you love. While finishing my doctorate in physical therapy, I was juggling debt, work, family, and a relationship that wasn’t healthy. Running, the very thing that had built my life, started slipping away.

Then came the race that broke me. Everything started well... until my mind spiraled. My body locked up. And for the first time in my life, I stopped mid-race. I bent over, turned off my watch, sat on the curb, and said, “I’m done running.” I had trained. I had the fitness. But it wasn’t physical, it was deeper.

What I Felt

Anger. Shame. Embarrassment.

I remembered when my coach once told me, “You have the talent to make the Trials, but you’ll have to change your lifestyle.” I laughed back then and said, “Dollar drinks start in two hours.” That year, all my training partners made it to the Olympic Trials. I didn’t. And sitting there on the curb, I realized: I didn’t lose that dream... I gave it away.

The Goals

I set new goals. I went back to my faith. Started counseling. Stopped drinking and numbing out. Showed up for my kids in a deeper way. And I wanted to run again, not just to chase times, but to become a better man.

What I Tried (That Didn’t Work)

I tried everything, more training, supplements, therapy, gadgets, extreme diets like keto, tracking every metric. I tried to bio hack my way back. But all it did was make me more exhausted, more complicated, and more broken, financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually.

The Ah-Ha Moment

Finally, I slowed down. Instead of chasing hacks, I focused on the basics: sleep, breath, strength, balance. I took a cortisol and gut test, and realized my body wasn’t weak, it was depleted. I didn’t need to train harder. I needed to recover, to heal, to rebuild my system. The irony? I’d been teaching breathwork and movement to others for years, but I had never truly applied it to myself. That’s when things started to shift.

The Plan & Conflict

I built a simple, sustainable plan: structured sleep, breathwork, strength training, whole foods, better boundaries with work. But even then, the stress of the medical system nearly crushed me. Insurance denials, overwork, endless documentation. I wondered if the system would break me before I could live out my purpose.

The Small Tweak

So I made one key shift: boundaries. Real breaks. A balanced schedule. Putting patients first, not paperwork. It gave me control again.

The Result

Piece by piece, I came back, not just as a runner, but as a father, a man, and a leader. I found joy in running again, but this time it wasn’t about proving myself. It was about becoming myself.

And in 2025, I returned to a marathon I first ran 10 years ago. Back then, I wanted one thing: to win. This time, the goal was different: to qualify for Boston. I didn’t just qualify, I ran 14 minutes faster than I trained for, and punched my ticket to the 2026 Boston Marathon. This wasn’t just a race result. It was a victory in every aspect of my life.

Now, I help other runners chase their goals, without the burnout, without the injuries, without giving away years like I did. Because running shouldn’t just break records. It should build lives.
