​

In his own words...

Why are you involved in MMTA? 
 

Because Brandon asked me to. Who could turn that guy down? It has proven to be a socially enriching and rewarding experience. 

If you could only pick one activity on the trails, what would it be?

It would be running the trails because I think the trails lend themselves to running more than any other activity.

What is something no one else knows about you? 

I'm never done with something even when I say I am.
