Coaching Philosophy:
It is my goal to provide an environment in which all student-athletes can achieve in the field
of Cross Country and Track.  I stress the importance of academics and how an athlete’s
work ethics in the classroom can directly impact them athletically in a positive manner.  I
strive to improve all of my student-athletes not only in the sport of Cross County and Track
but to improve them in life.  I view myself as a teacher not only on the track and the
classroom but a teacher of life skills.
