- Athletic Background:
- Uhhh, did you say athletic?? If baseball, weightlifting and golf count, then yes I've got one. Then again, I was also 195lbs and rarely went to bed before midnight.

- Ironman Hawaii and Ironman Wisconsin
- Favorite Workout:
- Any interval workout, it doesn't matter if it is on the trainer or at the track. Oh yeah, I also love "the long run."

- Anything breakfast. A HUGE omlette with avacado, spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes. Add a side of whole wheat pancakes and you've got a good post swim feast. :)
- Starbucks Drink:
- Tripple Grande, non-fat Latte.
- Favorite Music:
- Hip-hop when riding or running. Otherwise a good mix of country and rock.
- Other Interests:
- Anything outdoors (hunting, fishing and camping). XC skiing helps keep me sane through the dark cold WI winters. I also enjoy coffee, eating at unusual places, dark beer and did I mention coffee?
- Favorite Quote:
- "Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end." (Unknown)
