WHAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT YOUR JOB?
Helping people feel better about themselves and helping them discover the athlete inside of them is the best part about my job!
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PASSION?
My greatest passion is traveling around the world and racing. There is nothing better than when you get to do both at the same time! It is such an amazing way to get to experience the people and how the community comes together for an event. You get to see parts of the city and countryside you wouldn't normally explore.
GREATEST RACING MOMENT: Living my childhood dream of racing an Ironman. It was in South Africa and it was everything I had ever hoped it would be and more. You get to spend a lot of time with yourself and learn a lot in return. Not to mention, going to in Africa was incredible!
WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE TO FIRST TIMERS WANTING TO ENTER A RACE?
There is never another first, so if you are going to pick a race; where would you want it to be if it were your one and only race? How would you make it a memorable event? Find a race (and maybe a destination!), train for it, and then embrace the experience and take in every moment from start to finish - the feeling you will have when you cross the finish line will be unforgettable.

What's my motivation? This says it all. I wish I could wake up to this video every single morning. I hope you get as much out of it as I have.
