I am an ultra runner from Pennsylvania since 2006. My first ultra was the Blues Cruise 50k in 2006 and my first 100 mile race was in 2007 - MMT 100. I have now run over 40+ ultras. I also take photos at some running races throughout the year and post them here: FunWithPhotos
Hoka One One Ambassador - running in the Hoka shoe since March 2013.
“I’m only running the 50!” I found myself saying that to a lot of people the last two weeks before the Virgil Crest 100/50/50k. I did the 100 in 2013, signed up for the 100 in 2014 and dropped at 50 miles (dnf the 100). So this year I decided I was only going to […]
First off I want to give a shout out to my daughter Karyna for completing 10 miles with Helene. That was awesome to see her out on the course. Thanks Helene! My awesome crew Karen and Alyssa thanks for having everything ready on all laps, all day long – tough job. Nick and Jeff thanks […]
Eastern States 100 Miler went really well this year until it didn’t – DNF mile 51. The wheels can fall off pretty quick and they did.

Ten Hours of Trexler, well almost. 9 hr 25 min, 51 miles, 9,000 ft of elevation gain – tough loop course. I found the pain cave right from the start and stayed there to the finish 😉 No issues with my leg other than the pain being inflicted on them from the course. Each loop 8.5 […]
The Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 turned into a 38 mile training run this year. Something with the muscle or tendon in my lower left leg was not happy almost right after the start. It kept getting worse until it was to painful to run. That is what I really love about this sport. You put the […]
I want to thank my family for the support I always get to train for these events. Thank you to my Pagoda Pacers Athletic Club family and other running family for always being there to train with me. Thank you Hoka One One for this great opportunity to be a product ambassador for an awesome […]
My 9th HAT Run 50k – snow, mud, numb feet and sun at the finish. Definitely a challenging day. 2nd place 4:25:35 a little slower than last year but I think that had something to do with the miles of slippery mud;-) Very happy with my effort and definitely left it all out there like […]
