Thanks for visiting my website.  I am a 31 year old Wisconsinite currently pursuing a career in Information Technology with a nearly all consuming hobby of triathlon. I live in West Allis, WI with my wife Mary, dog Jimmy, and cats Max and TJ.

In 2007 I achieved a major triathlon goal I established by qualifying for the Ironman World Championship on my third attempt at the distance.  Since then I have had some ups and downs in triathlon and life.  In 2008 I missed qualifying by a few minutes at Ironman Wisconsin.  In 2009 I suffered an avulsion fracture of my 5th metatarsal.  I wasn’t the brightest bulb with that injury – I continued to run on it for 2 months prior to having it diagnosed and continued to run on it an additional 2 months before finally having surgery to fix it in December of 2009.  I was than laid up for a few months.

Since returning to training I am focused on finding out my limits with respects to triathlon while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.  The primary focus of triathlon right now is a multi-year campaign to raise my bike to a similar level as my swimming – and once I’ve done that win the Age Group race at an Ironman. 

All this for a sport that I was forced into by my wife in 2003, when I was out of shape, over weight and looking forward to a nice sedantary life of playing video games.
