Personal:

35 yrs &  6'1 142 lbs. No wife, no kids, 1 white deaf dog named Diogi.

Never ran high school cross country/track. Ran a 5:38 mile in freshmen gym class cross country mile race...where I tried to recruit friends to bunk the event and walk but no one walked with me and everyone took off...after about 15-30 seconds I said screw it and took off with a vengenace from the rear of about 200 kids. Passed everyone and was going to take the victory but on the last 100-200m Tuffy Mills (sophmore track & football/basketball player) kicked hard and smoked me.

2012 aged 32yrs old got back into running and ran another 5:38 mile.
