Anyone who knows me will tell you I’m obsessed with coaching. Not just movement and training, but the actual practice of coaching — communication skills, motivation research, creating frameworks, figuring out a new flourish to make it easier for clients to track new habits…

I’m super lucky to have work I’m so passionate about, but even I can occasionally turn it off.

You can also find me playing a board or card game with my partner, learning to cook very basic things as an adult, watching basketball, fuming at political podcasts, biking, or singing all the wrong notes to old Dispatch songs.

Oh, and I practice what I preach: I try to live my daily life in an active way, and then layer on high bang-for-buck workouts that are conveniently at a gym down the street or at home (“make it easy to work hard,” I like to say). At 36, I’m stronger than I was at 26 and curious about 46.
