Personal Interests

Backpacking and Thru-hiking

At least once a year I take a long-distance backpacking trip, and hope to hike most of the National Scenic Trails at some point. In the past few years I've completed the  John Muir Trail, Pinhoti Trail, Benton Mackaye Trail, Superior Hiking Trail, and the Tour du Mont Blanc. On a couple of these I've set time records. I also try to post my hikes on my Instagram page. 

Marathons and Triathlons

Soon after moving to Chicago in 2010, I got hooked on long distance running. This soon progressed to half marathons, triathlons, marathons, and even ultra marathons. Since moving to Seattle I've started regularly trail running. My next upcoming events are trail ultras in Utah and Washington in July, with several road and trail events planned for later in the year.
