Hello

I’ve been running since 1980 — and coaching others to run better, faster, and stronger since 1994.

My journey started with cross country (X-Country) as a youngster, which ignited a lifelong passion for endurance sports. I became a certified X-country, middle- and long-distance coach in 1992, and have spent more than three decades refining my approach and helping athletes unlock their full potential.

Over the years, I’ve coached a wide variety of sports including javelin, cricket, rugby, and high jump — with the privilege of mentoring a number of South African champions along the way.

I joined Alpha Centurion Athletics Club in 1997 and that same year, I ran my first 21 km, marathon, ultra marathon, and Comrades (finishing in 9:52). Since then, I’ve brought my personal bests down to 40 minutes for 10 km, 90 minutes for the half marathon, and 3:15 for the full.

To date, I’ve completed over:

400 half marathons (21.1 km)
50 to 60 marathons and ultras

Beyond road running, I’ve also competed in Adventure Racing between 2000 and 2010, and I’ve been an active mountain biker since 2000, completing multiple multi-stage MTB events.

Whether you're training for your very first race or chasing a personal best, I bring both experience and empathy to every coaching relationship. Helping others achieve their potential isn’t just a tagline — it’s been my mission since 1994.
