In a few sentences, describe your connection to U2FP, why you chose to run in support of U2FP, and whether you have a personal connection to spinal cord injury and paralysis: 
My connection to U2FP is through Quinn Brett. Few people are lucky enough to meet, in person, someone they truly look up to and find inspiring. Quinn is that person for me. She’s pushed me through physical journeys I never imagined I could take on. And even when I got the dreaded call about her fall, I knew immediately—it wouldn’t be what kept her down.

Is this your first marathon/race? If not, what others have you completed? 
I have done lots of 5ks, 10ks and a few 10 milers across Colorado and Kentucky

What do you crave after a long run? 
Just thankful it is over and my breath

Do you listen to anything when you train or race? If yes, what? 
I have eclectic taste in music, when I am running I could be listening to anything from Steve Wonder to Missy Elliot

What are you most excited and/or nervous about for the marathon? 
A bit out of shape, I have 3 young kids and a more than full time job that keep me wrapped up a bit, I am just going for a finish this round

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Traveling, music festivals, sporting events, dinner with friends, hanging with my kiddos.
