Favorite Race: So far, it’s my first tri, The Outer Limits.

Best Race Performance: I was 4 years old and I beat my friend Kenny Horton down the driveway in a big wheel race. Take that Kenny!

Other Hobbies: I’m a big travel junky. I’ve been to all over the US, Europe once, and Asia ten times. In 08, I learned to surf in Costa Rica and hiked in Denali National Park, Alaska. I’m always in the process of planning my next trip. Outside of travel, I like watching the Steelers beat the Browns, snowboarding, and eating bacon.

Occupation: Engineer –New Model Development for Honda

Interesting Facts: I’ve lived in 11 different places, all in the Midwest. I graduated from Penn State in 98. WE ARE……! I had permission from the government of China to drive their formula one coarse for one week in Feb 2007 (It’s considered illegal for foreigners to drive anything but at bike in China). Biggest reason I started training for triathlons was to counteract the effects of my bacon and beer consumption.
