Head Coaches

Joe has coached with the Striders since 2007, and has been an avid distance runner since elementary school. In high school, he won an individual state championship and led his team to two back-to-back state titles. He credits distance running as a key to his admission to Harvard University, where he ran 10 varsity seasons at the Division I level. His primary goal is to provide to motivated athletes the same guidance and opportunities that he received, to afford them the same academic possibilities. His emphasis first is on the love of running, and then on the love of pushing one’s self to new limits. Everything else, he says, seems to take care of itself.
