Bio

I have been involved in athletics since the age of 11 years when I joined Redlands Little A's club and competed in sprints and hurdles events at Qld State and National Junior Championships.

My coaching experience is over 30+ years and had many successful junior athletes who have competed at Qld State and Australian & University National Championships and World Junior Championships. I'm a private athletics coach and not affiliated with any club.

I'm an accredited Level 4 High Performance Coach specializing in Sprints & Hurdles events, with my major focus being Hurdles Coaching. Currently I coach Perla Maizey (Qld State 15 years Champion 90m & 200m Hurdles 2023), Addison Farinazzo (2nd U15 years Girls 200m Hurdles Australian All Schools 2023, 4th 90m Hurdles). I also assist with speed development in other sports having worked previously with the Brisbane/Qld Roar and coaching winter sport athlete Peter Makrides currently ranked in the top 25 in the world for the Skeleton event.

I have always had the drive for wanting athletes to realize their potential and give them the support where they require it. I believe it's important to constantly challenge your athletes to help drive improvement in their standards and expectations.
