Bio:

I grew up on Long Island and never thought of getting the running bug. During my high school years I played hockey with recreational leagues and one season for an adult league. I caught the running bug in 2008 after I ran my first 10K up at Avenue of the Giants and finished 2nd in my Age Group. Eight months later I ran my first half-marathon and 10 months after that, ran my first full marathon and finished 2nd in my Age Group in that event. As elated as I was, I said to myself, "Did I do this? I got to be sure." And I decided to run more marathons. Plus having the 26.2 sticker on my car wasn't enough for me because I wanted to maintain being able to run marathons not just have it as a one time thing. In 2011 I decided on a goal of running 50 marathons in 50 states. While I still have more to go, I finished 2013 with 15 marathons in 13 different states under my belt. When I learned of Marathon Maniacs I decided to go for qualifying for its membership as well and achieved it after finishing Detroit, Philadelphia, and the Mississippi Blues Marathon within the 90 day time frame. I'm honored to be a member of both the 50 States Marathon and Marathon Maniacs Clubs.
