Life is full of challenges. As a sports fanatic, I am always up for a good challenge! Surfing, snowboarding, soccer and softball have been a big part of my life. Swimming, running and cycling just came naturally,  I just like being active. To me, life is sports!

 Along the way however, I've experienced obstacles. In 2012 I suffered a major back injury while surfing. It was a huge set back. A year and a half with no sports or physical activity. Determination, consistency and top of the line physical therapy brought me back to my feet again! Throughout my life, I have always battled an even bigger demon though. 

In September of 2015 I overcame my biggest challenge in life, alcoholism and drug addiction. I started a new journey. A journey of self discovery, spirituality and redefining myself. I came out the other end a new man, a man with hope and dignity. On August 13th, I married the woman of my dreams, as my life continues to evolve. On Mothers Day of this year, I conquered another big challenge, I quit smoking! In celebration of my health and my new found freedom and life, I have decided to compete in a triathlon.

I understand for some people, life's challenges are more complicated. Whether it is physical, medical or situational, they may not have the ability to overcome whatever challenge it is they're facing. Some people are forced to rely on time and science to help them overcome their hurdles. Then there are those who never get the opportunity to see their challenge through to a brighter day!

   So, I am on a TRI mission!
