Brief Biography
I have lived in Huntsville since I was 10. I graduated from Auburn University where I met my beautiful wife Lori, and then completed medical school at the Univ. of South AL. I currently work in the ER at Huntsville Hospital. Lori and I have 3 amazing children and we are challenged every day by them. I was always a team sports person, and would play any game with a ball. However I also loved to hike and spend time outside. I never considered running enjoyable just for runnings sake. Even though I ran a 5:12 mile in middle school, I hated it at the time. Three years ago a friend introduced me to trail running, and I have been hooked ever since. There is nothing better than running the local trails to challenge your body, refresh your mind, and renew your spirit in God's creation. I am the kind of person that loves to see how far I can push myself. I'm a dreamer, and I want to see how fast I can be if I train harder than anyone else is willing to do. I love running because the concept is so basic at its core, yet it can be as challenging as you want it to be.
Short Term Goals
Break 17:00 for the 5K. Break 35 minutes for the 10K. Run a sub 2:50:00 marathon. Meet others this year who love to run. Help local runners reach their goals by promoting group runs and leading a pace group for the Rocket City Marathon, Future goals for Cotton Row run and Monte Sano 10K are 36:00
Long Term Goals
Stay healthy and make sure running is always fun! Keep my life in healthy balance with God, family, friends, and running. Run a premier 50 mile, 100K and 100 mile race while there is still time to run fast. Would love to run a sub 2:40:00 marathon in the next 3 years.
