Age: 34
Been with ORC since: April 2011
Proudest running moment:
Finishing my first marathon at the Napa Valley Marathon on March 6, 2011. I’d only been running for a year and 4 months at the time so it was a defining achievement for me. I’ve never seen anything as impossible since crossing that finish line. It was awesome coming across the finish line seeing my wife, mom and mother-in-law there cheering me on!
Hobbies/ Interests: Obviously running is close to the top! I am also a big football fan (Dallas Cowboys, K-State Wildcats and LSU Tigers) and a long-suffering Royals fan. I love animals and I love spending time with my wife and friends.
Volunteer work: I’ve done bell ringing with the Salvation Army, helping at Harvesters, and various fundraising things. I am currently trying to raise money for Team Red, White & Blue with my next marathon.
Why I run with the ORC: Before joining the ORC I did not have any friends locally that ran, so I had no idea what it was like to run with people. I have come to treasure the friendships I’ve made thanks to the club and I love running with my ORC pals at our club runs and seeing them at races. I love the support and advice I get. There are members from all experience levels so there is always someone that can give you advice if there is something you are struggling with. GO ORC!!!
