Long-Term Running Goals:

To run the Chicago Marathon every year that I am physically able to, and to eventually run a marathon with my daughters (when they are old enough).

Running Start:

My first race was the Halloween Trick or Trot Kids race which was in Lincoln Park when I was 8 years old. I won the race, and forever after became one of the weirdos who enjoyed running.

Fun Facts:

  • I have 3 daughters and a wife who support my running habit.

  • We live in Roscoe Village.

  • I've hiked the Grand Canyon from rim to rim.
