Marathons
I began running in my neighborhood in 2014 and ran my first half
marathon in 2018. My debut marathon was the 2019 Houston Marathon,
which I finished in 3:42:57, which is still my personal best time at
the distance. Since then, I have run seven more marathons,
including all six of the then-current World Major Marathons (WMM):
Berlin (2019), Los Angeles (2020), London (2021), Chicago (2022),
New York (2023), Tokyo (2024), and Boston (2025).

Radio Orienteering
I have been competing in radio orienteering (also known as Amateur
Radio Direction Finding or ARDF) for over 20 years.
I have been a federally licensed
amateur radio operator since
1993. I have been an organizer of the United States Radio
Orienteering Championships twice (2008 and 2016). I served as
an International Juror at the World ARDF Championships in Korea
in 2008 and Lithuania in 2025. I have competed for Team USA at
the World ARDF Championships five times: in Croatia (2010),
Kazakhstan (2014), Bulgaria (2016), Korea (2018), and Czechia
(2023). I am currently the IARU Region 2 ARDF Coordinator,
helping to sanction international events in the Americas.
