Most Memorable Race:

The 2011 Jungfrau Marathon in Switzerland. We were living in Europe, and it was my first marathon, which I ran with good friends. The course climbs 6500 ft (1.2 miles) from Interlaken to Kleine Scheidegg. My wife and two daughters took the cog railway up the mountain and cheered us on along the way.

Running Start:

The August before my freshman year of high school a good friend's dad said, "Hey guys: the high school cross country team invited incoming freshman to the workout tonight. If you want to go, I'll drive you." The snap decision to go for it resulted in a lifelong love of running.

Fun Facts:

I am a dad of three with extracurricular interests in softball, tennis, and baseball.
I love winter sports and include XC skiing in my winter training whenever I can.
For a native Clevelander, I have an abnormal love of kimchi.
