Bio
I am the run of the mill average age-grouper with a true passion for endurance sports from triathlons, long distance running, and adventure racing. I want to share my enthusiasm with others who have an interest in endurance sports but do not know where to begin. I want to help motivate, encourage, and teach those with the desire to learn how to train like a triathlete. I’m very driven when it comes to training and living a healthy lifestyle and want to share with others.
Occupation:
I am an Arson Investigator with the San Antonio Arson Bureau.
