About Me: Graduated with a degree in Technology, then promptly went into the Corporate world of meetings and more meetings and all the while traveling across Canada and the U.S.A. to ensure all those years of study were put into professional practice. I then moved on to the Real Estate industry where I've been Helping families achieve their dreams of home ownership the over 10 years. Over these years I balloned to 266lbs with a CRAZY high blood pressure. A trip to the doc's office put in motion I change of events that will forever change my life. A former MEAT eater & cheeseacholic guy who has transformed into an avid VEGAN runner and LOST 90lbs over 1.5 years is now a marginally talented, incredibly dedicate, passionate and focused guy, who eats plants and RUNS. I've now been running since 2014; 1 Full Marathon, 1 half marathon a 10k and 5k. The MARATHON is my race of choice and I completed it in 3:33:59 missing my Boston qualifying time. I Prefer longer distances over any other race other than a quick 10k :). I LOVE trail running and once I get this Boston thing out of my head I'll be running longer and longer trail races.
