About me

Introduction By profession, I'm a software engineer. But if you ask me what I'm passionate about, it's adventure and pursuing new physical challenges. I don't know if you'd call me an endorphin junkie or just plain crazy. Over the last few years the pursuit of adventure has taken me into the world of ultra-distance endurance running. I guess I've always been a runner, ever since I was 6 years old, and had to run from the bullies at the bus stop. I was an on and off again runner throughout my entire life until I ran my first marathon in 2010, and felt that sense of accomplishment at the finish line. Since then, the constant search for the "Runner's High", has driven me to run over 40 marathons and over 20 races of at least 100 miles in distance. In search of the next big fix, last year I ran my first 200 mile solo run and now I'm looking at pushing the envelope even further. I love all types of food and I'm intrigued by new ideas on diets and new running technology or reading about others experiences out on the trail. So if you're as passionate as I am about food and adventure, feel free to drop me a line. I always love making new acquaintances and finding new people to share my passion with!
