Hey everyone, 

Really glad you took the time to take an interest in who I am. But believe me it is not that exciting, yet. But that is exactly what I am working on, to turn my bio into something people actually want to read. That is the mission, but the path is foggy at best. Hopefully with some hard work and a little luck, I may stumble on to the next great idea. Remember the pet rock? Well, the guy made a million dollars.

 But for those of you still interested, here you go:

Biggest Question in Life: What’s a Hypotenuse?

 As a new member to the world of Triathlon I quickly became immersed in its glory. Mainly I believe that the infatuation was more than maintaining my fitness or testing my limits. I really was drawn to all the new equipment I would have to buy. A daunting task for a recent college grad, but none the less an exciting endeavor which would require; shiny equipment, a new wardrobe and lots spandex. Spandex, a treat normally reserved for Halloween, now has become part of my daily attire.  

 I see great growth and opportunity in the world of Triathlon and I am very excited to have been given this gift to compete. This blog has been created to document my preparation for the 2010 Louisville Ironman; I want to again thank you all, especially my family for all your support.
