I'm a 27 year old elementary music teacher who lives in Alamosa, Colorado with my wife, Christie, and two dogs, Zatopek and Joanie. I enjoy watching the Minnesota Vikings, Timberwolves, and Twins, listening to sports talk radio, creating my own podcasts and rap songs in my studio, writing for news publications, downhill skiing, studying exercise science, cooking healthy food, eating all kinds of food, coaching, and much more. I also train as a full-time distance runner, which means I run, bike, ski, rollerski, and just generally workout, sleep, or eat all the time.

My memoir on falling in love with running …. on my own terms

Have you ever seen your mom or dad get “a talking to?” It is an unfamiliar thing, especially for a younger child to witness.

It is the time of year that evokes tradition, competitions, friendships, and all of the other […]

Tom Sederquist and Ben Sathre/Part 2: Inspirational Beginnings If you missed part 1, check it out here.

Cross Country Collections: Mount Rushmore of Distance Running

Who would you place on the “Mount Rushmore of Distance Running?” It is a question that begs a lot more questions about criteria. Is this the ‘best long distance runners by time? World medals? Most well known by the average person? Is it the most accomplished by some other standard? How about middle distance?’ This […]

Finding unity, peace, worship, knowledge, and the sword …..all in one place: sound doctrine

One thing I have realized in this time of quarantine, when more available time has allowed me to read a bit more extensively some of the nerdy theology books I have, as well as extend training sessions and thus sneak in a few more episodes of “Dividing Line” with James White, theological debates from the […]
