When I'm not drawing, painting or cleaning up art supplies, I love to race.
I developed a passion for endurance sports on a whim. I was living at home while attending my first year of college and needed an outlet. So I decided one evening after eating half a pizza to go for a run on the beach. Well it turns out I liked it, because I ran 10 miles to our town and then had to call my dad to pick me up! I discovered I had a knack for getting in the 'zone' and a peculiar affinity for the suffering that goes with pushing your body past where it thinks it can go.
I include this portion on my website because being an endurance athlete has helped shape much of who I am today. Whether it's a triathlon, 5k or ski race, I love the opportunity to improve, to stretch myself, and to compete against others as well as the ultimate competition: myself. Since I started racing, I have managed to race just about every distance from 5k to marathon and have done every distance in triathlon from sprint to Ironman. I have met so many great people through this sport and have grown so much as a person that whenever the opportunity arises, I share my passion.
