Age: 37

Personal: I am an outgoing, friendly person that enjoys a good balance in life. I am lucky to be surrounded by good family and friends and enjoy spending time with both. I moved to Atlanta in 2002 from Maryland for a change of scenery and enjoy what this great city has to offer. My first experience with triathlons was last year when I just decided it was something I thought I could do and am definitely hooked on the training and seeing how far I can push myself.

Athletic Accomplishments: I have always been active in fitness in one form or another. I started playing sports at a young age and continued through high school. Throughout college and after, I was more focused on general fitness, but always enjoy the spirit of competition.

2010 Goals: My goals are simply to get better with each race. I have not really thought about a dream goal, but at this point in my early triathlon experience, it would be great to be on the podium.
