Currently, Cody is focused on performing well in triathlons. Cody competes in 3-5 full and half Ironman races a year. These races prepare Cody for the bigger Ironman competitions.

Cody is ranked #1 in his age group for triathlons in the United States, and #5 in his age group worldwide.
Cody is a Madison-born and raised athlete. Growing up Cody began to play baseball, hockey, and soccer at an early age. Cody realized that he enjoyed working with other athletes, and always strived to be the best player on all of the teams of which he was a member. Cody has always been interested in improving his athleticism but also was amazed by the team dynamic and how it could help improve individual performance. Cody realized that each team member had a unique skill, that Cody sought to emulate and achieve. Cody realized that he was talented, but he realized that when he put his mind to it and followed through with hard work, Cody could surpass most other athletes. Simply, Cody realized at an early age, that talent is important, but it takes hard work and drives to achieve a sustainable result.
Cody is a coach at Pat’s Gym. Cody enjoys coaching other athletes to reach their inner potential, and to find their passion for improving day-to-day. Cody works with all types of individuals ranging from athletes who want to compete in triathlons, athletes who are rehabilitating from an injury, or those who are just interested in living a great life, being able to perform life’s daily tasks safely, with a great attitude and having a great amount of energy.
Although Cody is an accomplished athlete, he has no attitude and enjoys working with all types of athletes. What motivates Cody is seeing athletes improve day-over-day, and who are dedicated to their fitness journey.
