Brief Biography
Married to Anne, my very supportive wife. I have four children (Allison, Ryan, Hannah, and Connor). I love to run on all surfaces (road, track, and trail) and play golf. My favorite race is the Mountain Mist 50K. I have worked in the Huntsville Defense Industry, as an engineer, since graduating from Auburn University in 1989. I enjoy running local races and helping new runners with competitive racing and overall fitness. I also enjoy cycling, swimming, playing tennis, and ice hockey. I love to camp, read, and watch movies and sports on TV.
Short Term Goals
Continue to stay healthy and improve on my racing times from 2009. Continue to help other runners and perform volunteer services. I would like to get my 5k time back in the 17s and run a fast mile (five o's). I would also like to run a half marathon under 1:28 and find some time to run more trails.
Long Term Goals
Complete both a half and full Ironman. Also run a 100 mile race (Western States). Keep some speed with 1milers and 5ks. Continue to contribute to the Huntsville running community through volunteering with the HTC and Fleet Feet.

I am a veteran local runner with loads of experience to share with all runners. I am a consistent and constant participant and volunteer at many local events (both races and Fleet Feet sponsor and team events included). I have been running for Fleet Feet since the start of the racing team and continue to promote and love the sport of running. I also interact with many triathletes and other sports type people (golf, hockey, tennis, soccer, etc.) that allows me to further promote Fleet Feet. I have always followed Fleet Feet’s expectations of wearing team uniforms and being professional and will continue to follow the guidelines of the Fleet Feet Racing Team. I feel that I can continue to be an example and provide inspiration for younger and less experienced runners. Mostly, I would continue to be a good ambassador for Fleet Feet because I love the running.
