Support Crew

A Bay Area native, Marcia thrives on family, community, and her small business — Liminal Coffee, which she runs with her husband. When San Francisco’s fog gets heavy, she escapes to Maine for sun, family, and lake life.

When she’s not coaching or training, Marcia can be found deadlifting bags of green coffee beans — literally fueling her athletes and her community.
