I figure this is as good a place to start as any. I plan to go into all of this in much more detail later, but here’s an outline. Most of the details below are relevant for one reason or another.

I’m 33 (turning 34 in January). I live in New York and have lived here since October 1999. I grew up in a suburb of San Diego, CA, went to college in Rhode Island and law school in Michigan. Between college and law school, I lived in Austin, Texas. I work a regular lawyer-type job – sitting at a desk, dreaming about being outside. I started doing triathlons last year and so far, I’ve done seven races (3 in 2005, 4 this year). I also regularly run in New York Road Runner races here in the City. I don’t race to win awards, but I definitely get competitive when I’m out there.

My lovely wife and I just celebrated our second wedding anniversary. We met in 2001 and were married in 2004 in Washington, DC (her hometown). She also does triathlons, and would probably argue that doing them was her idea first.

We have the best dog in the world. He’s a 7 month old long hair chihuahua named Charlie and is just about the cutest thing ever. He’s also a pretty good cheerleader and fan for me (see picture below from the 2006 NYC Triathlon).

My parents still live in San Diego. I have two siblings – I’m the oldest: my sister’s in Los Angeles and my brother currently lives in New Zealand (he’s been there almost two years). My in-laws and my brother-in-law are in Washington, DC.
