BIO:  I was born and raised in Indiana and moved to Dallas in 2001.  I started running 5Ks and 10Ks after college and eventually moved up to marathons.  After tiring of marathons, I let Tri-ProSoap team members Greg & Heather Diamond talk me into doing a triathlon and I was hooked.  Since my first race in 2004, I’ve completed many Sprint and Olympic distance races, two Half-Ironman races, and the 2006 Ironman Arizona.  After taking a couple of years off to attend graduate school, I’m looking forward to racing again in 2009!
