Bio: I started running in 1999 to lose weight. Ran my first marathon in Salt Lake City in 2009 and was hooked on racing. After that I got involved in Ragnar and other running events and haven't looked back. The last several years I have spent Managing a running store and directing running events, mixing in races like half marathons, marathons, Ragnars, and 50Ks. There is nothing like the energy of a race start line, the satisfaction of a strong finish, and the love the running community shares.
