I am an Atlanta native, father, husband, retired Airborne Ranger, a scoutmaster, triathlete, cyclist, adventure racer, mountain biker, ultra runner, rock climber, hiker, lover of endurance sports and anything outdoors! Having been a runner and cyclist most of my life, my transition into triathlon was a natural evolution. Being a competitive, and goal-oriented person, triathlon provides me a means of staying fit and competitive. In the future I would like to participate in the Eco-challenge, and run the Badwater Ultra-marathon.
