Personal Philosophy: Last year I competed in the 2007 USA Triathlon Championship / USA Team Trial in Portland, Oregon, in hopes of qualifying to represent the United States at the 2007 World Championship in Germany. I enjoy exploring European Ski Resorts and Bordeaux Vineyards. I also like ultra distance races. I would expect to move up eventually in the triathlon competition to longer distances of half-Iron Man and Iron Man.

Triathlons are usually staged in very attractive resorts. My wife and I have traveled every year to interesting places like Tahiti and Rio, and from Peru to Africa. We are looking forward to combining our foreign travel with my interest in triathlon. I also do some sketching and abstract oils."
