Brief Biography

I was born and raised on a farm in Shelby Ohio with a large family of four brothers and one sister. My running career started my sophomore year of high school and took me to Ohio Northern University where I competed in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track while getting my Mechanical Engineering Degree. I then got my MBA from Texas A&M while taking some time off running. My career took me to Huntsville, AL with my wife, Elizabeth, where I am working at Redstone Arsenal. I am very excited to find a great running community here which has motivated me to get back into running. I am looking forward to getting involved in the community and to discover what the future holds.
