Born on the
Wildline.

Eleven years of running toward the dark.

I ran my first trail race in 2018 — a muddy 25K on Orcas Island that left me soaked, bleeding from a knee, and completely certain I had found the only thing that made sense. I didn't finish well. I didn't care.

Over the next decade I ran the Cascade Crest 100 four times, paced friends through the Wonderland Trail, crewed at Western States, and spent more pre-dawn hours on the flanks of Rainier than I can count. I learned the mountain the way you learn anything that matters — slowly, humbly, and with a lot of wrong turns.

I started coaching because I kept watching talented runners get hurt, burn out, or quit — not because they lacked fitness, but because nobody had taught them how to listen. To the terrain. To their bodies. To the particular intelligence that only comes from logging thousands of miles in the same mountains.

"The wildline is the edge where the trail ends and the mountain begins. That's where I coach from."

Wildline Endurance is built on one belief: that the Pacific Northwest is the greatest ultrarunning classroom on earth, and that every runner who commits to learning it — really learning it — becomes something more than an athlete. They become someone who belongs in wild places.
