Brief Biography
I was born in Waukegan, IL and we moved to Cullman, AL in October of 1992. My first official race was the Hershy Track meet in 5th grade. From there I played basketball from 7th grade to 10th grade and also attempted track in Middle school where I threw the shot put and discuss. One day I was asked by the high school coach to come out and run over the summer. I walked most of the 2 mile course, but continued to go back. I ran XC and Track all through high school and help set some records. I was 2nd at the XC state meet my senior year and 8th my junior year. I recieved a scholarship to UAH for XC. Ran 4 years of XC and Track, set several personal records and was close to qualifying for Nationals for the 10k on the track. For XC I helped the team to 2 Conference Championships and 2 trips to Nationals. I now have my Masters of Accountancy. Currently working as a General Ledger Accountant. With working full time, I have become the lead coach for the 13.1 Training Program at Fleet Feet. I love helping other achieve their goals while acheiving my own goals as well.
Short Term Goals
Run Boston Marathon just as fast or fast than I did Rocket City in 2009. Continue to help others achieve their race goals. Continue to have fun and run fast!
Long Term Goals
Long term goals would be to eventually break 6 hours at Mt. Mist, run sub 19 again in a 5k, run a 100, and to do some crazy adventure running.
