Being a professional triathlete has come with many challenges and many ups and downs, but at the end of the day I love what I do. My wife says that I have a lot of natural athletic talent, I have learned that only takes you so far. I always dreamed of being able to be a professional athlete I just wasn't sure how this dream would be realized, slowly but surely it has.

I am a "non-conventional" pro in that I've been married for almost 9 years (in January) and have 2 beautiful daughters (ages 5 and 20 months). Having a family has strengthened me in many ways and it definitely helps to come home to two little girls who think I'm number one even if I flatted and didn't finish the race!

This season has been a great season, I tend to do better in late season races and look forward to racing Austin and IM Arizona. I'm feeling stronger and stronger everyday I'm hoping for my best finishes yet at those distances.
