Hey y’all, I’m a happily married father of five and fully employed law enforcement officer. I began coaching high school basketball at the age of 20. But in 2017, I found ultra running and fell in love with the sport. I grew up backpacking and hunting with my dad in the backcountry, so ultra running was a natural fit.
Basketball is a love. Trail running is a love. But coaching is a passion. My competitive nature pushed me to become a student of the sport. Watching my athletes meet their goals and exceed their expectations brings me as much pleasure as finishing a race myself.
You’ll find that I’m a straight shooter with a no nonsense approach to training. I also put a tremendous amount of value on communication between my athletes and I. Being a married father of five, I value your home and work life and work diligently to accommodate that lifestyle.
Train with us and you’ll be treated like the athletes you are, not clients.
Hey, I’m Justin, a native Texan, currently stationed Alaska with the United States Air Force. I’m happily married to my beautiful wife of 14 years, we both love running and the outdoors. My love for the outdoors and running started at a very young age, and I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying it all over the world.
Although a long-time runner, I discovered trail running in 2018 and there was no looking back. There is something special with being in nature and cruising on the trails. After completing many trail races to include two 100 milers, I decided I wanted to help other adventurers achieve their goals as well.
Though you may never see me on a podium at any race, nor will you even see me finish mid crowd, I truly know how to suffer. This is what I bring to coaching, an understanding of what the real, every day athlete will experience when out on the trails. I’ve proudly finished both of my 100 milers in the golden hour (last hour to finish before cut-off) so I understand what it takes to dig deep to finish. When working with me you will get unlimited communication and support.

What’s up everybody? Gary here, born and raised in North Carolina. I am a lifetime outdoorsman getting started very young hunting a fishing with my dad. I’ve since moved to Alaska where my outdoor pursuits continue.
My fitness background started while playing sports throughout high school and some rec league sports in college. My philosophy on fitness changed over the 5 years that I spent in the Army. I was fortunate enough to earn a spot in 3rd Ranger Battalion, and then deploy with the 1-501st Airborne Battalion to Afghanistan.
I found running after I got out of the military in 2019 and decided to tackle my first 50k. Since then, I have embodied the ultra-running style and have continued to push my limits. This newfound endurance has given me the confidence to go forth into the backcountry without hesitation.
I am now a full-time firefighter/EMT with the Anchorage Fire Department, and train year-round for my outdoor and racing excursions. I am married to a much better athlete than I will ever be, so she pushes me to be better. We have an infant who also keeps me very busy.
