Originally from Titusville, Pennsylvania, I grew up with an affinity for the outdoors I was surrounded by. Hunting with my dad and running on my school’s cross country team were early influences that instilled in me a love for long hours spent in nature and a competitive streak that cannot be satisfied.
I explored the network of singletrack in nearby Oil Creek State Park and quickly found my calling in trail running. I learned of a 100 mile race hosted by the park and began training immediately. One year later, at the age of 18, I won the Oil Creek 100. Since then I have competed in ultra marathon races around the world and have finished on the podium of races like, The Western States Endurance Run, Grand Trail des Templiers, JFK 50 mile and Lake Sonoma 50 mile.
I now call Flagstaff, Arizona home where I enjoy thousands of miles of trails from my doorstep. Flagstaff’s diverse terrain and access to dozens of world class training partners makes it the ideal place to train for just about any race on the circuit. Plus, its proximity to the Grand Canyon is a massive perk.
