Age: 38

Focus: I’m dedicating 2012 to building speed and power through Olympic, off-road, and Half Ironman racing. This is the first year in a new three year plan that will prepare me for a venture back to the Ironman distance in 2014.

Goals: Top 5 AG in every race. Have fun and complete my first off-road triathlon.

2011 Achievements: In my first full year with coach Grasky, I set two PRs in the half marathon, earned my first podium spot at the Olympic distance, enjoyed my first AG victory, finished my first Ironman (admittedly, it wasn’t pretty), and qualified for Age Group Nationals (didn’t race).

Background: After three years in the sport, I joined forces with Brian Grasky at the end of 2010 to refine my approach to triathlon by drawing on his extensive experience as a coach and athlete. Working with Brian has paid immense dividends in both results and training efficiency. I completely trust that he will establish a training schedule that leads to results, while accommodating a busy professional schedule and family time.

A native of Northern California, I now reside in Charlotte, NC with my wife and two young children. When not training or racing, I enjoy time with the family and working at the Director of Mobile Strategy at a Fortune 50 retailer.
