Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running without injury (while still hitting PRs through my 40s). Maybe age into a BQ.

Most Memorable Race:

While true in many aspects of life, the saying "the journey is the destination" is central to my running experience. While love a good race, I also enjoy getting to see and explore places so differently while running. Between work travel and vacations, I have been lucky to lace 'em up in some amazing places.

To that end, I think my favorite runs are the Big Sur Marathon up the Central California coast and running between lighthouses, wild horses, and wheat fields along the White Cliffs of Dover. Both because of the views and the in-the-moment experiences.

Fun Facts:

  • I am a dad of 3 (girls 8 and 6, and boy 2).

  • I was a boxer in college.

  • As a new suburbanite (just moved from Chicago), I am working my gardening and lawn game.
