To keep it simple, I was Born and raised in Brunswick, Ohio where I grew up swimming and was fairly successful in cross country and track in HS. Went on to Cumberland College in Kentucky where I ran all four years and majored in Biology.

Following College I challenged myself to a self supported cross country bike trip and shortly after competed in my first triathlon. I have been competing as a Pro/Elite triathlete since 2007. During this time I have been very grateful to my very committed and generous head sponsor, my wife Molly.

Eleonore Rocks was a good fit for me and my family as the 12 of us siblings should have amounted to 13. I have very little memory of this time, but I am certain that my parents few days spent in the hospital could have been more forgiving then they were, and that's where Eleonore Rocks makes a difference.

As I am the sole member of Eleonore Rocks in the Colorado Springs area, any rocking chairs amounted to donations under my name will be donated to hospitals in the Colorado Springs/Denver area.  This is very exciting as it is rare that fundraising has a direct impact on a local market.
