Brief Biography

I was raised by my grandparents in a rural farming community. They taught me the work ethic needed for life (and for running!). I now have two beautiful daughters who like to watch dad do various crazy running antics. My lovely wife shares the passion that God placed in me and between us we strive to maintain a healthy balance of family time, work, and training. It was fun having them as my ""pit crew"" during the last days of the cross Tennessee race and watching them realize some achievements don't come easy...but with patience they can happen. I have been blessed in the ultrarunning society...I have won an ultra every year for the last 16 years, with over 50 overall wins at the various ultra distances.

Short Term Goals

To keep running to the best of my ability while maintaining a healthy family life. Keep injury free while running several ultras per year.

Long Term Goals

I want to run Mtn Mist 50K until I'm at least 100 years old…that is if I can still make the cutoffs! I would like to compete in the Sri Chinmoy 6 day someday.

Ambassadorship

I have a great deal of history, not only with Fleet Feet, but with Dink and Suzanne specifically. Dink and I have been running together for almost 25 years and we have shared much blood, sweat and tears over those years. As I am aging (read slowing) I am switching to more of a mentor role and look forward to sharing the knowledge I have garnered over the years.
