ABOUT
After spending nearly 15 years working on Wall Street I was exhausted, bored and just a little a bit out of shape. With the blessing of my wife, I left banking in 2004 and started ENHANCE SPORTS - an endurance sports coaching and consulting company.
A world champion, a few National champions, and far too many race victories from
my athletes to keep track of and I am sill loving every minute of it!
