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.
