37; Director of Development at Caissa K12
I <3 MY SPORTS: I’ve met some of my best friends through the endurance community. There is nothing like early morning fellowship and suffering alongside like-minded people!
BUCKET LIST: Kona… enough said.
UP NEXT: I’m looking at some summer 5Ks and the Road Race Series this fall. This winter, it will be time to race half marathons!
FAV FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: BQ’ing at the White River Marathon with a 2:45:03.
HOMETOWN: Memphis, TN
SPEED BUMPS: Most recently, I had posterior tibial tendonitis that almost kept me from going to the Boston Marathon. It’s been a long road of recovery, but I am finally coming out the other side and ready to rip!
MY GROUP: Breakaway Race Team and Los Locos Racing Team
FAVORITE JAMS: I don’t listen to anything when I work out. True maniacs stay laser-focused on the task at hand!
RECENT RACES: Boston Marathon 2025
MOST MEMORABLE FITNESS EVENT: Winning the Hot & Hilly 10K in Branson, MO, during a bachelor party after staying up all night.
BEST EATS: Vanelli’s Deli. I enjoy their Panino Imbottito.
DREAM DINNER COMPANY: Benjamin Franklin. He did many different things — science, writing, politics — and helped shape the U.S. early on.
GO-TO GEAR: Garmin Fenix Multisport Watch (with the Inspector Gadget Flashlight)
INSPIRATION TO BE FIT: My children, Andrew (4) and Georgia Kate (2). They are already showing signs of wanting to pursue running!
ON MY NIGHTSTAND: “26 Marathons: What I Learned About Faith, Identity, Running, and Life” by Meb Keflezighi with Scott Douglas. I’ve read it twice and plan to reread it again!
PET PEEVE: Sleeping through my morning workout. I almost always regret it!
QUOTE: “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s really, really go!” by myself, my wife, and my children
