About me:
A rabid runner, gym rat and overall wannabe athlete in my mind. Husband, desk jockey and proud daddy in the real world. |
Why do I run:
During the day, I am a mild mannered desk jockey who helps manage a large IT company. At night, I am a family man, who is insanely in love with his wife and a proud daddy to an amazing girl. But in the pre-dawn hours, as most everyone else is still asleep, I am my alter ego and allowed to indulge in my passion for athletic activities and artistic fun. |
Why I started running:
Ox was a call sign bestowed upon me while I was an active duty United States Marine, mainly in tribute to the fact that I was a major gym rat. After 5 years and three tours of duty, I reentered the civilian world. My call sign was replaced by my actual name but the Ox still lived inside.
As I began to adapt to my new life, I also began to take on new adventures. I left the gym behind for a while and began to focus on running. This started an obsession and this rabid runner has now completed many events, including a number of marathons, and looks to tackle ultras, triathlons and anything else out there. |
