About Andy

RYP Endurance began for me long before I decided to make it official with this business. Endurance athletics has been a big part of my life, beginning with Track & Field back in Junior High. I grew to love the grind of training and competing and since that time it has been woven into my every day life. I started coaching youth athletes when I was still in High School, and while running was my passion, I began coaching competitive swimmers as well. As an adult, I became interested in longer distance racing and added marathon  and then triathlon training and races into my repertoire. Through years of racing and experience I have established myself as a reputable athlete and coach in these areas. After many lessons learned through my own training and racing, I’ve developed a train philosophy that I can apply to people from all walks of life, and at all levels of ability.

My goal is to bring the joy of endurance athletics and athletic achievement to people of all shapes, sizes, and levels of ability. It’s my passion to provide the road map required to reach your potential in any athletic endeavor from something as simple as completing a 1 mile run, to the completion of a 100 mile Ultra Marathon, Ironman Triathlon, and beyond. Through my personal competitive experience of more than 30 years, I bring a unique perspective on the physical and mental rigors required to train for and complete what may seem like the most impossible of tasks. The satisfaction I get when an athlete excels is greater than any athletic achievement I could reach personally and is the reason why I coach.
