Describe a little bit about yourself and your interest in triathlon
Lifelong athlete, broken neck in 1984 playing HS football, was told I'd never play sports again, decided to go into medicine and specialize in spine, learned all I could, decided the doctors were wrong about my sporting participation, began running/biking/surfing, things lead to Triathlon in 1994, raced a bit in the 90's when I wasn't surfing, had first child in 2000, another child in 2002, then in 2011, they got into kids triathlon. It was my green light to re-engage. I've been full on since. Member of D3 since 2012. Coaches Dave and Mike have inspired and guided me. My purpose everyday is to evolve, improve, and inspire (especially my two boys).
