5 Fast Questions
- What is your go-to training shoe? Nike Invincible 3!
- What’s your favorite cross training activity? If I’m cross training it’ll be the exercise bike on repeat.
- What’s a show, movie, or podcast that everyone should check out? I’m a big Huberman Lab guy. I also just rewatched White Collar and that show will always be one of my favorites!
- If I weren’t a runner, I’d mostly likely be…Knee deep in the water somewhere… But more likely I’d be working some finance job.
- Do you have any connections to Raleigh and/or North Carolina? Lots! Both of my parents were on the track & field teams at UNC. My two brothers currently live in The Triangle. My girlfriend, Hannah Steelman, ran at NC State. My college coach is now the head coach at UNC. Plus, two of my great friends, Emily Pritt & Ryan Hill, ran at NC State as well!
