About:

FOR THOSE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND THIS HERE IS THE GIST OF THINGS. I WAS A CHUBBY KID WHO'S LEAST FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR WAS THE DAY WE HAD TO RUN THE MILE IN GRADE SCHOOL. WE'RE TALKING LIKE DEAD LAST GUY RIGHT HERE. RUNNING AND BIKING OR ANY FITNESS WAS NOT ON THE RADAR. THEN ONE DAY, I HANDED IN MY MAN CARD AND WENT TO THE ER WITH TERRIBLE STOMACH PAIN. THIS RESULTED IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A RUPTURED APPENDIX AND THINGS WERE DIFFERENT. I WAS TOLD IF I HAD WENT TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT I WOULD HAVE LIKELY DIED. I LOST ABOUT 40 POUNDS WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL AND WAS OFF TO UMD SHORTLY AFTER. THAT IS WHERE MY ROOMMATE HAD THE BRILLIANT IDEA TO TAKE UP RUNNING. HE WANTED TO IMPRESS A GIRL AND I WAS THE THIRD WHEEL. AND THAT IS HOW THIS ALL STARTED.

ANOTHER PASSION OF MINE IS PHOTOGRAPHY. YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED A FEW RACE PHOTOS I'VE TAKEN BUT TAKE A LOOK AT MY CREATIONS AT BULLDOG Photography. IF I CAN'T BE RACING, I MIGHT AS WELL BE CAPTURING THOSE ACTION SHOTS OR WORLD CLASS BOATS AND AUTOMOBILES!
