I am father, husband, and triathlete that originates from Indiana but currently resides in southwest Florida.

About 8 years ago, I was looking for a lifestyle change that would provide a healthier example for my son so I started out with running. I worked my way up through the various distances from 5K to marathons and after my tenth marathon I decided that I wanted to try something totally different, so after looking around I decided to jump into the triathlon world. So first order was to find an event, so I picked out a half iron distance race (Ironman Augusta 70.3) and started training. Training went well and I completed my first triathlon and thought that this sport was for me as I really enjoyed the variety and the triathlon community. Fast forward 8 years and I have completed 5 half-Ironman and 4 full Ironman events.
