Coach deNobel first developed his love of running as a child; his biological father ran at the University of Maryland and has coached track and cross country at high schools throughout Maryland and West Virginia. I remember going to summer workouts with my dad's cross country team and leading most of the way.

During high school, I was part of the National Ranked, 3 time Cross Country 3x, Indoor Track 3x, and Outdoor track 3x state Championship team of Leesville Road in Raleigh.

During college, I unfortunately tore my MCL in both knees; as a way to continue my love running, I became the running coach at Knightdale High School.
