Why I Run
I was born to run. I enjoy the thrill of pushing my limits, the challenge of chasing goals, and I feel that running is an act of praise to my redeemer, Jesus!
Favorite Quote
“Set your goals high and don’t stop until you get there!” – Bo Jackson
Favorite Meal / Food
First and second breakfast are both great. I thrive on oats. I basically eat like Secretariat.
Race I’m Most Proud Of
2021 Drake Relays University 5000m. It wasn’t my best race ever, but to make it back to that level after losing my colon to Ulcerative Colitis was super cool.
Fire Up Song
Depends on the race… An early morning XC race, dew still on the grass as the sun rises — “Eye of the Tiger” Survivor. Track race — “Till I Collapse” Eminem. Trail — “Unbelievable” EMF. All-Purpose — “Heart of a Champion” Nelly. And of course, XC Nats “Da’ Dip” Freak Nasty.
Favorite Place I’ve Run

Favorite TV Show
