I am a Certified Ironman Coach. I am the owner and founder of FE26TriCoach, LLC.  I established and manage the Rebel Raccoons endurance team in Albuquerque, NM.  In addition, I am also an Elite Level 3 certified cycling instructor and also certified thru NCCPT as a Personal Trainer. I have been an athlete my entire life (wrestling, track, football, soccer, basketball), and triathlete for over 10 years. Prior to triathlon I enjoyed many half marathons, 10Ks, 5K, 16 La Luz Trail Runs, and many Century Cycling events. 

 

Over the years I have had many coaching opportunities such as: lead the U.S. Department of Energy Track and Field Team to 10 first place finishes as coach and participant in the Division II Corporate Cup Challenge (a not for profit organization); Assistant Coach of Youth Football for 4 years; Coach of Our Lady of Fatima Track Team  (2 years where we won two city championships).

 

Highlights of my multi-sport career include: 23rd Age Group at USA National Duathlon Championship 2013; 3rd Age Group Ute Lake Sprint Tri 2014; Storie Lake Long Course Duathlon 2013; 3rd Age Group NM Open Water Tri Series 2013; 7th Age Group UNM Spring Fling Sprint 2015, 7th Age Group COLT Olympic 2016.  

 

Over the past years have completed numerous Sprint Distance Triathlons, a few International Distance Triathlons, 12 Long Course Triathlons at various events such as: Elephant Man Long Course; El Trinidad de Muerto; Boulder 70.3; Soma Tri for Life 70.3; 70.3 Arizona; 70.3 Oceanside; the 505 Cochiti Tri; and the 2018 St. George 70.3 Ironman. In addition, have completed seven Full Ironman 140.6 events (2015 Boulder, 2016 Arizona, 2017 Boulder, 2018 Boulder, 2019 Boulder, 2019 Arizona, 2021 Arizona).

 

In addition to my athletic career I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and have been employed by the U.S. Department of Energy for over 33 years. 

 

I decided to combine my love for multi-sport endurance events and coaching and became a IRONMAN Certified Coach January 2016. I had the pleasure of being one of the Certified Ironman Event Coaches at both the 70.3 Boulder Ironman, 104.6 Full Ironman Arizona in 2016, 142.6 Ironman Boulder in 2017 and Ironman Boulder 2018.

 

I believe communication is important.  Life has many challenges, between work, parenting, and being social, if you ever deamed of doing a triathlon and can't find the time to train, lets talk and put together a plan to help you achieve your dream.
