Venturacers

Meet the Team

I run for Venturacers because:  I’ve been running off and on, (mostly on) likely since before many of my fellow teammates have been alive. Haven’t been on a team since track and cross country in high school, long ago. Experienced the Ventura Half in 2023, and have up with the team a few other times, and its great to have the camaraderie of running together. Grateful to be a part of it. 

PRs:
5k – 19:12 (Sailus Corporate Championship 2012)
10k – 38:23 (Flannel 10k 2024 seemingly short course. Or I run better in extreme cold, it was about 9 degrees on this February day)
Half Marathon – 1:27:22 (Ventura Half Marathon 2026, downhill aided)
Half Marathon – 1:29:17 (Brewers Mini-Marathon 2012)
Marathon – 3:13:14 (Last Chance BQ2 Marathon 2024)

My favorite workout is:  VO2 max intervals with 5-10K pace in the middle of a long-ish run.
My favorite race is:  Completing the 6 World Marathon Majors has been a long and rewarding journey. Boston 2025 was my 6th, and running much of it at party pace with Venturacers crew (Rebecca, Brad, Andrew, and Gordon) made a special experience even better. Favorites include London and Boston Marathons, both have amazing crowds, and the most iconic finishes in running.
When I’m not running:  Often traveling for work to pay the bills so I can spend time with my wife and daughter, whether at home or around the world, sometimes for races.
