I do not coach for participation.

I coach for performance.

I am an ultramarathon athlete, endurance coach, and active duty Marine Corps officer. My professional life has been built around structure, operational planning, and leadership under stress. My athletic life has been built around long miles, vertical gain, and the pursuit of durable performance in unforgiving environments.

Both worlds demand the same thing: discipline, clarity, and execution.Endurance is not accidental. It is engineered.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in periodization, benchmark testing, and progressive adaptation. I use a system that prioritizes base development before intensity, durability before speed, and long-term progression over short-term validation. Every athlete enters a structured macrocycle built backward from their goal race. Every session has intent.

There are no random workouts. No aesthetic mileage. No performative suffering.

i apply the minimum effective dose required to create adaptation. i respect recovery as much as stress. i reassess. i adjust. i build.

My background in leadership and operational planning shapes how I design training. Big picture first. Then controlled execution at the weekly and daily level. Fitness is developed through deliberate accumulation, not chaos.

Ultrarunning rewards preparation, not emotion. The mountains expose shortcuts.

You will understand your zones. You will know your benchmarks. You will see where you are in your season. Because confidence comes from clarity.

Hard Luck Endurance Coaching exists for athletes who want structure, accountability, and performance built for the long haul.

Built for athletes who move.
