Brief Bio:
I was born January 26th 1984 in New Jersey. I started running when I was little with my dad in local road races. I ran track in middle school and attended Haddonfield Memorial high school 1999-2003. During high school I was a 9 time State Champion, three time all American and two time Nation Champion.
I just graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree with geography. I now work for Intergraph. I ran at UT from 2003-2008. At UT I became a 4 time letter man. I have the freshman school record in 3000m at 3:16.
Lately I seem to be getting hurt. I didn’t make it through one of my 5 season in college without having to sit out one because of getting hurt. I am very motivated to lower my PR’s and establish new goals. This will all happen if I can stay healthy. I have run as many as 112 miles a week and a 10 week average of 98. But my focus isn’t on mileage right now, it’s getting healthy and getting into a steady running routine.
Short and Long Term Goals:
Short term is to get healthy and run some road races, Long term; I want to train to break 14 in the 5k. When I am done with those goals I will make new goals or go after new ones such as the half marathon and then soon the marathon.
Community Involvement:
I look forward to meeting the community and getting involved with the races. The running community here seems very strong and supportive; I hope continue to strengthen the running community by getting more involved and motivate people to run.
