I started running in my freshman year of high school and haven’t looked back. I competed in all four years of Cross Country, Indoor, and Outdoor Track in both high school and college. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Exercise Science at Sacred Heart University. After graduation, I taught in the Exercise Science department and coached Cross Country, Indoor, and Outdoor Track for two years at Weston (CT) High School, and for three years at Fairfield University.

I moved to Milford in 2018 and joined the HRC. I have completed seven marathons, including Boston four times. Outside of running, I enjoy all outdoor activities and adventures with my family, building Legos, and watching Below Deck. You can also get me to show up to an event if any combination of pizza, ice cream, and beer is involved. This is my second time coaching Couch to 5k.

Through my teenage and young adult years, my passion revolved around sports, particularly soccer and basketball. Initially, running was just a sporadic fitness activity in between the real “sports.” As my 30s unfolded, a busy life and soccer-related injuries led me to neglect exercise, witnessing a decline in my health. Approaching 40, I decided to make a change, stumbling upon the world of running. The Cleveland 10K during the marathon weekend marked my first official race, and the vibrant crowd’s energy left me captivated. Before I knew it, I was training for marathons, aiming for my first Boston qualifier. Eight years later, I’ve completed 17 marathons, including all World Marathon Majors, alongside numerous shorter races. As a self-coached individual and a data enthusiast, I delve into running physiology and training articles and podcasts in my spare time, applying my learnings through trial and error to both my own and my wife’s training.

I reside in Sherborn with my wife Josely, a fellow HRC member and runner. Our two teenage girls embrace the cross-country season in their high school, and we thoroughly enjoy it alongside them!
