Art’s Story:

I was fortunate that by the age of 28, driven by my burgeoning interest in the human body’s physical limits and potentials, I cut a path that eventually intersected the health/running boom in Boulder, Colorado where the learning environment was rich and fertile, with a collective aspiration level as high as the sky.

I can honestly say that I’ve “lived it” for the last 25 years, since adopting distance running as a developmental vehicle and eventually going on to experience some incredible years of running, both preparing for and competing in foot races as grueling as the Leadville and Western States 100 milers, to name a few.

Today, running remains both a spiritual path and an outlet for my energies and competitive fire. Accompanying and guiding others on the same journey has become my way of life.

Other areas of my lifework and passion extend to Alternative Sports Medicine, Sport Sociology & Psychology and Life-span Motor Development.

Come for a run or meet me for a session, and I will show you how to deepen the sense of fulfillment gleaned from your athletic endeavors, however large or small.
