I threw for Western Washington University in Bellingham for a five year period.  My career highlights include being a team captain for a three year period.  Two top five finishes in our conference championships in both the Discus and Hammer.  PRs include 145 in the Discus, 155 in the Hammer, 48 in the Weight.  It was also during this time where I meet my wife who was a pole vaulter at Western.  Currently I am the assistant Throws coach at Western entering my fifth season.  Primarily working with the Hammer throwers and Discus throwers.  Lex Kaligis takes on the Shot-put and Discus.  Currently my coaching highlights have been a 189 Hammer thrower (Soph.), three 150+ Discus throwers, and a couple of 140 Hammer throwers.

I have a B.A. in History and a Masters in Teaching.  I also have a newborn Daughter (Olivia)
