A brief hiStory of me

Sport has been in my blood since the beginning.  As a little kid I played soccer, hockey and ran cross-country. As I grew, endurance sports became my passion, first with mountain biking and then road cycling.  After a few years racing on the US under-23 national team in Europe, I found myself searching for something different.  Triathlon is what I found.  

Triathlon has been my passion and my competence for over 10 years.  As an elite/professional athlete I captured 11 Finnish national titles and more than 10 top-10 placings in professional Ironman and 70.3 events. In 2018, I backed away from my personal ambitions and focused on my growing personal coaching business, DT Coaching. Running is where I currently direct my personal athletic energy.
