| About Me: |
This is my 4th Triathlon / endurance sport season. Before that, I never did anything like this. I've spent 7 out of the past 10 years working 12 - 14 hour days, including Saturdays, and my break time was spent at McDonalds. I am now 20 pounds lighter, and have a much better / healthier lifestyle. I always played sports, but I ran to get into shape, I raced BMX for years, and I learned how to swim in the ocean when I was 2. I've been married since 10/03/08 to Lisa, who also is now a RAT, and we own a Financial Planning practice here in Reston. |
| What I do to pay the bills: |
Financial Advisor in Reston |
| Who defends the ranch when I'm out training: |
Our dog Belle. My wife, Lisa, is usually training with me. |
| Short term triathlon goals: |
PR at Columbia and Reston, and Eagleman this year. |
| Long term triathlon goals: |
Finish an Ironman |
| Fantasy triathlon goals: |
Qualify for Kona |
| Three favorite albums: |
Nine Inch Nails - anything, but if I had to pick one "the downward spiral"
Cure - "Disintegration"
This is a tie - Jane's Addiction - "Ritual de lo Habitual", A Perfect Circle ' "Mer de Noms", or Marilyn Manson - "Antichrist Superstar" |
| Favorite book: |
I'm used to reading a bunch of boring business and leadership books. Mastery or The Art of War |
| Favorite movie: |
The Empire Strikes Back |
| Chocolate: |
the more the better |
| Garlic: |
a little bit |
| Blue Cheese: |
yes |
| For breakfast, I usually have: |
cereal, eggs, parfait, or a smoothie |
| After a long day of training, my favorite meal is: |
Steak, or a burger and a beer. But being a native Marylander, nothing beats hot steamed crabs and cold beer. |
| My best triathlon advice is: |
Train on all 3 events, I learned this the hard way. It's all about the bike. |
| My best non-triathlon advice is: |
Get your priorities straight, and don't deviate from them |
| What was I thinking when I signed up for my first race: |
I was overweight, overworked, and really wanted some competition (non-work related), back in my life. |
| Everything I need to know I learned from: |
Yoda |
| My deepest, darkest secret is: |
It's still a secret |
