About Me

I am your average 31 year old father.  I have been running a good part of my life.  I live in Pemberville, Ohio where I share my life with my wife Janelle and my two children Trey and Mya.  We are a very active family.  Along with my own running I love to coach just about anything that my kids want to get involved in.  Below is my running carrer to date:

Home Town: Risingsun, Ohio
High School: Lakota HS

Running Career: I started running in 1992 (7th grade). I was far from a distance runner though. I ran the 100m & 200m in my 7th & 8th grade years. Then moved to the 400m and 800m all through High School. I also ran Cross Country and played Football my Junior and Senior year.

College: Started off my Freshman year at Heidelberg College playing football and running indoor/outdoor track. Soon realized that running was what I wanted to pursue. So I ran Cross Country starting my sophmore year as well.

Post College: As many years as I ran all through College. When I graduated the real world was tough to balance. I stopped running after my last track meet my senior year (2001) for a total of 4 years. My wife and I got married, bought a house, and had 2 kids all in 2 years. In 2005 was when I had to put a stop to my unhealthy lifestyle though. I was 45 pounds over weight and felt awful all the time. I started running again to lose the weight. I started slow believe me. I could only run a mile when I first started. In 2006 I ended up hooking up with my High School Cross and Track coach for a run. We went 14 miles that day. The most I have ever run at one time. I instantly fell in love with distance running. I run many races a year now and have done 4 marathons now.
