A quotation you like…

“How you do anything is how you do everything”

Why do you run?

Turns out I’m not so bad at it, ha! But especially in the winter I value how it gets me outside.

Describe your best marathon memory.

My fastest 5k and 10k during the Boston Marathon were the last 5k and 10k. Toward the finish I spotted my wife and baby along the route and flashed them the “daddy” baby sign language sign and a friend captured a photo of the moment!

Why do you pace?

I’ve actually crewed and paced at ultras but never a road event before, but it’s something I’d like to do more of!

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Pacing during ultras, uufda! I love pacing a runner toward their first finish of a certain distance.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I’m notorious for negative splitting races.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Ask me or any pacer what their plan is for hills, if they’ll go out slower and negative split, etc.

Anything else you’d like to share?

Tell me if I get too chatty.

What philanthropic activities do you have?

Volunteering with our local running club has been a huge part of my life over the last 15 years.
