As far back as I can remember I’ve been an endurance athlete. Legend has it that my dad took me for my first run when I was 3 years old. He had been training for his first marathon and I would cry when he would go out for his long weekend training runs. He finally took me with and I ran until I fell on my face from exhaustion. Apparently I made it for 1 mile. Soon after when I hit 5 years old I raced in my first 5k. I’ve been training for endurance events ever since. Before Aravaipa I worked for Trek Bikes as the Market Development Leader for Southern California. Before that the majority of my careers have been in the health and fitness industry.
