About

I'm a South African ultra distance triathlete based in Boulder, Colorado. In 2017 I won the Ultraman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, a three-day, 320-mile race that pushes you to the absolute edge of what you think is possible.

I've completed over 20 Ironman-distance races, including a sub-9 PR of 8:59 at Ironman Texas in 2018, multiple Ironman World Championships in Kona, and four Ultraman races with two first-place finishes, a second, and a third. In 2019 I was part of an 8-person relay team that set a Guinness World Record for the greatest distance swimming in relay: 960km over 11 days. In 2023 I ran the Comrades Marathon in South Africa.

Outside of racing, I spent over a decade at Google in various sales and marketing roles. That experience taught me how to think systematically about performance, something I now apply to coaching endurance athletes through enza.team, where I'm the head coach.

My coaching philosophy is simple: apply the right training methodology at the right time, and prescribe the minimum effective dose to achieve maximum physiological adaptation. Build the aerobic engine first, then progressively specialize toward race-specific demands as your event approaches.

The athletes I coach range from first-time Ironman finishers to world championship contenders. What they have in common is a willingness to be consistent and do the work, whether they feel like it or not.
