At a very early age, I was exposed to athletics.
I competed in pretty much every sport known to man. From motocross racing to basketball to ice hockey, I was always on the move and had a drive for finding perfection. During my teen years, I began running and although running was personally satisfying to me, it was the team camaraderie that I truly enjoyed the most. The same holds true today as I not only race for myself, but for my teammates of Ballou Skies and more importantly, to bring awareness to the Ballou Skies Charity. Although on race day, getting to the finish line is an individual effort, getting to the start line is a team effort. I began racing triathlon in 2003 and have been passionate about the sport ever since. Through triathlon, I would not only meet some of my dearest friends, who are now also my teammates, but I would also meet my loving wife. To say I'm blessed with the opportunities and good fortunes that triathlon has brought me over the past 8 years, would be an understatement. To me, this is what Triathlon is all about. I look forward to nothing more than crossing that magical finish line next October on Alii Drive wearing the colors of Ballou Skies and sharing this experience again with my wife and team.
