Our Olympic Dream

In 2016, I had the incredible honor of coaching my wife at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The competition was two days, but the preparation lasted many, many years. It was the culmination of so much dedication. I worked hard to support my wife as she committed every ounce of her being to realizing her Olympic dream. Making that dream a reality was one of the greatest joys of my life. It will remain that way for years to come.

Our preparation took us many places. We lived in New York City, Southern California, and the Twin Cities of Minnesota. We traveled to Germany, Austria, Canada, Colombia, and Brazil. We also saw much of the United States.

The heptathlon changed my life, and I want to tell you more about it!
