About Derek

I am happily married with two children, Gavin (13) and Gwyneth (10) and live in San Antonio, Texas. I have coached at University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) since 2005 - coaching many distance runners to personal records in all distances ranging from the 800m to the half marathon! During my 20+ years of full-time coaching I have worked with many types of runners and focused on the individualization of training programs aimed at bringing out the best in each runner and helping them progress to their full potential! I focus on combining strength training and sound exercise physiology principles to create well-rounded training programs. I have learned that sound training progression focused on proper pacing and oversight of volume helps runners improve their running economy, confidence, and ultimately performances!
