Hi, I’m Coach Josh. My endurance journey began in 2016 when I committed to triathlon with a competitive mindset and a desire to see what I was capable of. Since then, I’ve completed over 40 races across Sprint through Full IRONMAN distances.

In late 2019, I became an IRONMAN Certified Coach, shifting my focus from personal performance to helping other athletes reach their potential. What began as part-time coaching grew into a full-time business in October 2024. Since then, I've continued building Venis Coaching around helping motivated athletes move beyond plateaus, train with purpose and perform with confidence.

My coaching is built around more than workouts. I work closely with each athlete to understand their goals, strengths, limiters and the demands of their life, then build a process that can adapt as they progress. Communication, trust and accountability are at the center of that relationship.

Outside of coaching and training, I’m a proud dad to two daughters, an avid adventurer, guitarist and someone who values meaningful connection. Those parts of my life shape how I coach: with purpose, perspective and an understanding that performance is only one part of a bigger picture.

As Venis Coaching continues to grow, I'm excited to bring Jenna Gwinn and Ty Liaromatis onto the team. Each brings a unique athletic background and perspective, but we share the same commitment to individualized coaching, purposeful training and helping athletes realize what they're capable of achieving. Growing the team allows us to extend that commitment to more athletes while preserving the personal approach that has always been at the heart of Venis Coaching.

I believe the best coaching happens when passion and performance come together. If you’re ready to train with purpose, challenge what you think you’re capable of and see where your potential can take you, I’d love to help.
