Describe your best marathon memory.

They are all wonderful and I’m looking forward to sharing a great memory with you!

Why do you pace?

In the past I was focused on PR’s but after I started to pace, I instantly realized it is more rewarding to help others reach their PR. You meet lots of runners while pacing and it is a wonderful communing.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

While pacing Philadelphia, we picked up a runner during the last half mile who was struggling. We motivated her and she hit her goal. We hugged at the finish.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I take pride in pacing and run extremely even splits. I talk a lot and like to entertain the group. We will have a great time together.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Trust in your training. It won’t be easy, but we will get there together.

Anything else you’d like to share?

What philanthropic activities do you have?

I donate blood and spread the importance of organ donation.
