About Me

I'm a husband and father of 2 with a full time job, but view triathlon as a way to give additional focus to my free time. I am an ex-roadie who happened upon triathon back in the early 90's, and I've been trying to learn to swim ever since.

Inspirations

Racing: I'm always inspired by things I see at races. Or by foods I want to eat.

Biggest obstacle/challenge

Time management. With 2 young kids (5 & 8), it can be tough to squeeze in the time to train.

Superstitions

Never use the 'F' word (flat). Bad things come to those who do...

Biggest athletic accomplishment

Coming back and qualifying for Kona again after taking 8 months off, when I dropped out of IM Lake Placid with a blood clot in my right lung.

Favorite thing about training

Beign outdoors and learning the new roads and trails around Portland, my new home, and early morning workouts.

Least favorite thing about training

Trainer rides during the winter while it's dark outside.

I work out to...

Random shows and movies I stream via Netflix while on the trainer. Nothing outdoors...I like to hear what's going on around me.
