What's your favorite race, and do you have a story that goes with it?

Two Cats Tobias Gerard, and Silvan Charles.

Who's your running/biking/swimming inspiration?
My College Coach Brian Baker (Former Arkansas University Great. Won tons of races on a national level) is and was a big inspiration for
me. He gave me, an injured baseball player, a chance on the team when he really did not have to. He treated each and every runner on the
team like they were equally important, no matter how fast or slow.

I also like Ryan Hall.

What's your other job?
Running. I also wait Tables on the weekends.
