About Desert Heat

I grew up in the desert. I've trained in the desert. The heat isn't something I learned to tolerate. It's where I come from.

My athletic history is rooted in desert heat, with years of endurance training and competition in some of the hottest environments in the country. Through that experience, and through teaching and coaching, I developed a deep fascination with how the human body responds to and adapts to heat.

That fascination became a research-driven pursuit. I built a comprehensive model of human heat response, integrating thermoregulatory physiology, adaptation science, individual modifier variables, and environmental factors into a framework that allows me to design precise, individualized heat acclimation protocols.

Desert Heat Coaching is the application of that model: helping athletes prepare for hot-weather competition with the precision and individualization that the science demands.
