Bio Information

1. Hometown: Santa Monica, CA

2. Schools Attended: Santa Monica High School (SAMOHI), Cal Poly SLO, USC

3. Current or Coolest Jobs: Current - Assistant Director of Security @ Citibank : Coolest - Day camp counselor to the stars in Southern CA during college. Took kids to the beach, water skiing, sailing and to amusement parks AND got paid to do it. And I got to drive a monster school bus.

4. Races You’ve Done and Would Do Again: Ironman Coeur d’Alene, Folsom International Tri, Big Blue Adventure Race, Great Ski Race (Tahoe City to Truckee on XC Skis), Scott Tinley’s Dirty Adventures.
5. Why Ironman/IronTeam and Why Now: Because I want to give back to the sport that has given me so much over the last 6 years. Doing so while helping raise funds for such a worthy cause is icing on the cake. It’s time for me to branch out and test the waters in the coaching arena because I’ve always wanted to pursue it as an option when I retire from my current job in about 10 years. Besides, if we decide to have kids, it’s going to be a lot harder to train like this so I’m getting it in while I know I have the time. People who do Ironman with three kids simply amaze me!

6. Favorite Tri Gear(s): I’m a gadget hound, I love my salt-sticks on my TT bike. My computrainer is pretty nifty too. Oh, and my Garmin Forerunner 305, very hi gadget factor there.
7. Favorite Food/Restaurants: Sushi, hands down. I do have a weakness for Mongolian BBQ too.
8. Favorite Vacation Spots: Kauai is a sacred place for me. Lake Tahoe too. Yosemite, just go!
9. Favorite Book, Movie, Web site or all of the above: Book - Plato’s Republic. Movie-Blues Brothers
10. What do you like to do when you’re not working out? I like to spend time with my wife and our yellow labs. We snowshoe in the winter and hike together in the summer. I’m pretty hand with a hammer and drill driver. I like to build things and do my own home improvements. Sometimes I sleep, because of the last workout!
