Bio Information

Location: Dublin – East Bay
School Attended: University of Redlands – Redlands, CA

Profession: Industrial Real Estate Sales and Leasing, Vice President – Lee & Associates Commercial Real Estate

Race: Ironman Canada
Why: My wife dragged me to a TNT meeting last January and I had no interest in triathlons. 4 Olympic distance events over 8 months and all of a sudden I can’t stop. Now that I’ve got the Olympic distance down I figured it’s time to give the big one a try, especially before having kids and while my wife still encourages me to do so.
Motivation: I like to challenge myself and test myself, it’s for a great cause, and I’ve met some great friends during my past 2 TNT seasons.

Goal: Qualify for Hawaii and get sponsored, quit my job and start training full time. If that doesn’t work out I’ll take finishing in one piece instead.
Other races: Maui Olympic Tri 2005, Alameda Olympic Tri 2005, Los Angeles Olympic Tri 2005, Treasure Island Olympic Tri 2005

Favorite tri gadget/gear items: Oomph! Tri shorts…..super comfortable w/ pockets for gel bottles and Velcro race belt. Make my butt look good too.
Favorite Books: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Green Eggs and Ham, DaVinci Code, Angels & Demons
Favorite Movies: Old School, Spies Like Us, Austin Powers 1 -3, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs
Favorite Songs/Artists: Metallica, Beastie Boys, The Doors, The Beatles, Britney Spears (I don’t want to hear about it….at least I’m honest!), Green Day, Oasis, Radiohead, Sublime, Run-DMC, Snoop Dogg, NWA (actually all old school and/or gangsta rap)
Favorite Workout Songs: Black Sabbath – IRONMAN; Public Enemy – Bring the Noise; Metallica – anything; Pantera - Walk
Morning or Evening: Morning, noon or night – bring it on!
Favorite Web Sites: It seems the web is generally good for research and porn; I don’t have a favorite for either but am still searching [keep visiting IronTeam.net…gets better towards the end of the season for both]. If email counts that would be it, either on my laptop or Blackberry. Not sure how the world turned without these items.
Favorite Eatery/Restaurant: Lutece (Las Vegas), Claude & Dominique’s (Pleasanton), Hap’s Steak House (Pleasanton), Auberge du Soleil (Napa) and when we’re not snobbin’ it I will gladly eat at any hole in the wall Mexican restaurant that’s open.

When you have downtime, how do you spend it?
Spending time with my wife, Aimee; catching up on TiVo, SF Giants games, trying to watch a KC Chiefs game, traveling outside the US, relaxing anywhere with a beer or glass of wine (or both) in my hand.

Tell us two lies and a truth about yourself…keep them guessing!
1. I starred in TV commercials when I was a kid.
2. I once drank 7 liters of beer in 6 hours.
3. Before we were married my wife and I double dated with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey before they got married and did Newlyweds. [now you know why Jessica and Nick got divorced]
