I am a Georgia boy living in and loving Alaska, especially the open water swimming. I am a sustainability-focused engineer, father of 4 and husband of 10 years. Running is my original endurance passion along with mountain biking but has led me to triathlon and an unexpected love of open water swimming!! I first started open water ocean swimming in Florida and have rekindled it now that I am here in Southeast Alaska in both the ocean and a local lake. We have moved around in the last few years so my racing had taken a break of sorts but once we settled in here last year, I reengaged my tri coach and signed up for Ironman Canada 2020 (switched to IM California after it was cancelled twice – then IM Cali was cancelled so I deferred to IM Florida 2021) and joined a Masters Swimming program, while continuing to run and bike here locally. I also couldn’t resist signing up for IM Alaska 2022 that will be ontly IM event that will occur in my hometown! I am looking to take up some winter sports like cross-country skiing to complement my winter training in 2021/2022 before the final 6-month push to IM Alaska starts in the spring. I look forward to pushing myself in the pool and on the road this summer. I am super-psyched about competing next summer and then looking towards Florida.
