Quick Bio and Coaching Info

I have had some great coaches over the years who have helped me achieve a lot. Special shout out to David "Abu" Abusamra, my XC and distance coach in high school at Governor Dummer who I remain in close contact with. He instilled in me a desire to always to aim for more, to be genuine, work hard and have fun doing it. This goes for running and any other challenge or success life might throw at you. Tim Weir, another one of my track coaches while at GDA, was another great inspiration for me in those beginning years.

I continued to improve and gain knowledge of the sport under Kevin Donner, the head XC and track coach at Bucknell University. Those were four awesome years.

After graduating from Bucknell in 2010 I spent a few years training on my own. In January 2014 I sought an outside coach to help me improve and qualify for the Olympic Trials in 2016. I've been working with Shawn Crotto as my coach since then. Based in the Portsmouth, NH area, he's arguably pushed me harder than any other coach I've had. I've gone from 2:27 to 2:17, achieved my goal of qualifying for the OTs, and crushed my 10k and half marathon PRs in the process. He's a great resource and extremely motivating guy. If you're looking to be a better runner/triathlete or just want to be more active and held accountable, check out his website. I'd encourage anyone to meet him and hear what he has to say.
