I have been involved in running since 1997, running numerous local races (5K, 10K and half-marathons). After running shorter distances for several years, I decided to tackle the full marathon. In 1999, I joined Team in Training, successfully raised >$3000 and ran the Flying Pig marathon.

Since then, I have run, run/walked, or walked 6 additional marathons. Most recently, I have also been involved with cycling, participating in POWWOW, a 500 mile bike ride across Wisconsin, and trying my first spring triathlon. I also volunteer as the ‘voice’ of the Flying Pig marathon, acting as the finish line announcer since 2001.
 
I am passionate about being active, and helping people achieve their goals. My motto for all my races is ‘Have fun and finish", and I look forward to helping all the Team Challenge participants do both.
