About Me
Sport of choice: Triathlon
Class: Professional
Country: USA
Residence: Redondo Beach, CA
Stats: Ht: 6'1", Wt: 165 lbs
Favorite Fluid flavor: Berry Treasure.
Coach/Mentor and what he/she has done for your life/career: Bernard Baski of TriFit Multisports in Santa Monica. When I came to LA, I knew nobody--Bernard and his wife Gina helped get me involved in the triathlon world and helped guide me through my tough first few years. Without his guidance and pure kindness, I would have had a long, hard road to trudge down. Still to this day, Bernard and the people at TriFit Multisport are coaching me and helping me reach my goals!
Career: I ran track and cross country at Penn State, and in the summers I would do a triathlon or two to break up the monotony of running. After I graduated school, I decided to pack up the ol' station wagon and move to Los Angeles with my girlfriend and start racing triathlon for real.
Greatest achievement: For triathlon, my two straight wins at San Diego International Triathlon. For running, my mile PR of 4:01.
Favorite Athlete: Sven Nys (cyclocross monster) for his consistent dominance in an inconsistent sport.
Hobbies: Cyclocross, motorcycles, skimboarding, falling asleep at random times.
Career highlights: 2x San Diego International Triathlon Winner, beating Chris McCormack at Malibu Triathlon in 2007, 3rd fastest time at Wildflower Olympic in history when I was a rookie.
If I wasn't a pro triathlete, I'd be...: maybe a fireman?
