I am a Dad, husband, leadership thinker, professor, executive coach and aspiring multi-sport athlete.

Being of a “certain age,” I found exercise to be critical for maintaining my energy and productivity throughout the day. The only problem is I hate to exercise. I do love to train and after placing first in my age group in 2014, a trick used by triathlon race promoters to ensure we all feel like winners, I now race in at least three triathlons a year.

In preparing for my first full season of triathlon this past year, I added duathlon racing to my training. Following a strong performance at the USA Duathlon National Championships in Bend, I was fortunate to qualify for Team USA with my teammate Scott Harder. In August of 2017, we will represent the USA at the International Triathlon Unions (ITU) Duathlon World Championships in Penticton, Canada.
