Brief Bio:
I was born in Manhattan, raised in New Jersey and Maryland. My love was baseball as a youngster. I began running as a freshman in high school at the encouragement of a friend. As a senior I was privileged to be part of the only triple-crown season my high school has ever known. We won the Maryland state championship in cross country, indoor track and spring track during the 1975/1976 season (I know, that was a long time ago). I then pursued my electrical engineering degree at Duke University. I was not a consistent runner at Duke but I did run a 14:45 three-mile on the NC State indoor track as a sophomore. That same year I ran my first marathon (Marine Corp) and set a PR that I am still trying to beat today. I exited competitive running for nearly 20 years while I took care of some other important things in life: working, marrying Kathryn and raising 5 children together in Indianapolis. My mid-life crisis came at age 38, so I started running seriously again. We moved to Alabama in 2005. I have made many new running friends here and am thrilled to be part of the Huntsville Track Club.
