About Me

- Co-Founded the Collegiate Running Association in 2013 to offer Collegiate National Championship events in Road, Mountain & Trail Running with Prize Money reserved specifically for college students.

The Quote File
"In Discipline the blood boils, the brain turns to marble and muscles to steel. When wrapped in the scalding arms of the Discipline I can't rip my eyes away from the sun. I feel no pain. If you know what I mean, then you know what I mean."
-Henry Rollins
"Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast."
-Emil Zatopek
"Your training partner's name is pain. You start out trying to ignore him. Can't do it. You attempt to reason with him. No way. You try to strike a bargain. Hah. You plead. You say "Please stop, please go away. I promise never ever to do this again if you just leave me alone." But he won't. Pain only climbs off if you do. Then you're beaten. "
-Scott Martin
"There is a time when most athletes reach a crossroads in their career. Even the most talented juniors need to realize that success at the highest level requires a new set of parameters in training and attitude and that without devotion - bordering on obsession - the path desired by most remains impossible to find." -Steve Cram
