My Short Running Story
        Running has been a part of my life since I can remember. Before high school it was just for recreational purposes and mostly consisted of running around my parent’s house as fast as I could. The start of a serious running career began at Pine Ridge High School and then transitioned to Flagler Palm Coast where I ran competitively on both teams. I moved onto an athletic scholarship and overcame 3-4 bone fractures along the way to achieving my personal records. 1:56-800m,3:56-1500m, 25:30-8k. Today, I enjoy the competition, but struggle to find consistency in training.   

My Foundation of Knowledge
         I officially formed 5k Race Director late 2008. The experience, knowledge,   and development of directing running events came several years before.  It began with my wonderful wife Tara whom I met while running around Stetson University. I ran with her and the Stetson Cross Country Team and was introduced to John Boyle again who has over 40 years of event management and directing experience. I met John Boyle as a 13 year old runner and soccer player, while competing at the Five Star Conference meet in Deland. Boyle suggested I concentrate on running.  A decade later I decided to get into finish lines and other aspects of the race business and from that time forward I started working with Alta Vista Sports, and as they say the rest is history.
