2026
I’ve been sitting with this for a bit while figuring out some logistics and direction.
This year comes with big goals — three 100-mile races, to learning a new language, and prioritizing my health and finances — but I know it won’t be a straight line. There will be highs, lows, doubts, and lessons along the way.
I’m excited to commit to the process, grow through it all, and see what consistent effort can really build over time.

Happy Medal (Buckle) Monday 🥇🐇
This past weekend I was fortunate enough to run my second 100 miler in Steamboat Springs—the Run Rabbit Run 100. This race tested me in every way possible—from the brutal terrain to the unpredictable weather—and it was tougher than my first 100.
Through all the highs and lows, I leaned on my crew (more posts to come just for them ❤️) because I couldn’t have done it without their support. The crazy part? I finished faster than my first 100. My goal was to go sub-30 and earn the coveted gold buckle… and I did it! ⏱️ 29:10:32.
Now it’s time to recover and figure out what’s next 🤔

Almost two weeks ago, I graduated with my Master’s in Business Administration—and the very next day, I ran a marathon in 3 hours and 28 minutes.
As I reflect back on everything I’ve been through, I’m not angry or bitter about the past. I wouldn’t wish some of my experiences on anyone—but I know they shaped me into the man I am today.
I didn’t have a perfect childhood. But this isn’t a pity post—it’s a message to my friends, family, and anyone out there grinding:
You are capable of anything when you commit to the vision and put in the work.
From a college wrestler to an ultra-endurance athlete, and now an MBA graduate—my path hasn’t been easy, but every step has made me stronger. I’ve already done more than I ever thought possible. Not because it was easy, but because I never stopped striving to be better.
From walking across the graduation stage to crossing the marathon finish line, it was a weekend I’ll never forget.
Thank you to Colorado Mesa University for having me and helping shape this chapter of my life.
And if there’s one thing I know now—it’s that I’m just getting started.

Today was a grind.
4 miles, no motivation, running on empty.
But I showed up.
Hit my 30-mile goal for the week.
Not every run feels good—and that’s part of it.
Some days it’s not about pace… it’s just about showing up and taking care of yourself
2 weeks ago I finished Zion 100.
Race 1 of Project 3 in the books.
Grateful for it… but we’re just getting started.
Leadville Marathon next, then High Lonesome 100, and Javelina 100.

Project Three.
100 miles at Zion 100 — done.
3rd 100 miler in the books, and I hit my goal: sub 30 hours.
Was it hard? Absolutely.
Mentally drained. Physically empty.
And honestly… not my best performance.
But that’s part of it.
Every race teaches me something new about pain, discipline, and what I’m actually capable of when things get tough.
Grateful for the experience. Hungry to keep improving.
Next up: Leadville Marathon ⛰️

This past week was a deload week, and yeah I picked up a little injury. But that’s part of it. Things happen, you adjust, and you keep moving forward.
Too much time, effort, and sacrifice went into this to stop now. See you at the start line.
T-minus 6 days…

Project 3 — 17 days out.
Race day isn’t the time to test new gear. Stick with what you trust so you show up comfortable and confident.
New trail shoes coming after the race 👀
