ABOUT ME:
I'm an18 year Navy Corpsman Veteran with Special Operations. I have 5 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. I recently moved to East Tennessee where I’m going back to school full time and studying Kinesiology where I’d love to work with collegiate and pro athletes. Ultra-running and endurance sports are my outlet from lifes stressors and it has helped save me from some dark times since leaving the military. I love listening music and the way it can motivate me, especially 90's hip hop and alternative, which I can be heard blasting to, sitting in my car prior to a race start, however, I rarely ever run with music or headphones. I also love to cross train, swimming, surfing and cycling and believe it helps in all aspects of life and sports performance
