About Mark

I began training for a triathlon in 1989 following a college baseball run. I felt like I nearly died in my first triathlon (Wildflower) but when I was finished I wanted more! I switched my major in college from Biology to Exercise Physiology and my journey into coaching began. I have been a lifelong educator and coach. I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer w/ the National Strength and Conditioning Association and a Slowtwitch Certified Master Triathlon Coach. Athletically, I have completed 27 Ironmans including three Kona finishes and over 75 half Ironmans. I have seen, heard, felt, and tried everything!
