Why do you run?

I run for many reasons including to stay generally healthy, to push my personal limits, and to meet new friends.

Describe your best marathon memory.

Running down the finishing straight of the Boston Marathon. There isn’t much that can compare to that memory for me.

Why do you pace?

I really enjoy helping others push their limits and achieve their goals, even if it is just in a small way.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

My best pacing experience would have to be at the Indy Monumental Marathon. It was fun the whole time and had a whole pack of 20+ runners with me for over half the run.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I will make sure that I maintain a steady effort and pace over the course of the race.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Just stay relaxed for the first half and smile.

Looking forward to pacing!
