About me

Gender Male
Occupation Project Manager
Location Franklin County, Pennsylvania, United States
Introduction I am a husband, a father, a grandfather, and I run long distances.
Interests I am a long distance trail runner--ultrarunner--of 50 and 100 mile races. I'm not so much into the technical how-to as I am the "softer side of ultrarunning"--going to the edge--the philosophy--the thinking--the spirituality..., I've run the Massanutten 100 miler; a 100 miler on the track as part of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life; and the Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Run., My 50 milers include the JFK in MD (5 finishes), Palo Duro (TX), and Bull Run (VA)., 50Ks include Blues Cruise (PA), Capon Valley (WV), and Catoctin (MD). I also am a researcher and writer on the American Civil War.
