Brief Biography
I've enjoyed being active all my life. My dad and I did a lot of long distance bike riding when I was younger. I ran some track in high school, but I focused more on running after graduating from college. I was drawn in by the track club and the running culture in this town. It also helps to have a wife who is supportive and has running as a hobby. I especially enjoy running on the mountain and would do this every day if I could.
Short Term Goals
Complete Mountain Mist in under 6 hours. Complete St. Louis Marathon in under 4 hours. PR at 15K to 1/2 Marathon distance.
Long Term Goals
Complete a marathon in all 50 states. Complete 10 Mountain Mists. Stay competitive and enjoy running while maintaining a balance with work and family

I believe I am a good ambassador of Fleet Feet because I’m down to earth as a runner. I encourage runners at all levels. I try to set a good example for other runners and encourage them. I aspire to improve as a runner as my running times have recently improved after slowing around additions to our family and two injuries. I believe I would be a good ambassador because our family is consistently competing or volunteering at races and setting a good pattern for other runners.
