I'm currently living in Indianapolis working as a graphic designer and running for the Indiana Invaders. Being able to do both my passions. running and design, is a true blessing. So far the journey has been a great ride and I can't wait to keep going.

I'm working on bringing my 400m hurdle time down from an unsatisfactory collegiate career. I attended the University of Notre Dame where I graduated in August of '08 with bachelor of business administration. I double majored in marketing and graphic design. I ran track all 4 years of college and was 4-time monogram winner. I was about to hang up the spikes after my last collegiate race but I realized that judging by my high school career I hadn't come close to reaching my potential. So I set off for Indy, in hopes of great training and reaching my full potential. So far so good.

In addition to running, I'm all about music and art. I work as a graphic designer for the great company Brandswag. When I'm not working or running, I'm probably at a concert somewhere listening to some great music. It doesn't get much better than live music. 

Race - 4/24 - 400 hurdles

I raced the 400 hurdles last night at the Gina Relays in Hillsdale, MI. Going into the race I knew it wasn't going to be good. I was recovering from a cold that had knocked me out for the whole week and the energy levels were at an extreme low. I got out well the first 200 meters, smooth over most of the hurdles. High winds were causing me to come up a little close on the hurdles but nothing drastic. The lack of energy hit at the 200 mark and the race went downhill from there. Steps were off, no drive, just glad to finish the race.
