Since 2017, I&#8217;ve coached 5 USA Olympics Marathon Trial qualifiers and numerous Boston qualifiers. I have also coached high school Cross Country\/Track for 7 years and coached Cal State LA Men&#8217;s and Women&#8217;s Cross Country\/Track teams for 4 years.<br \/>\n<strong>Why do you run?<\/strong> I have been running since 2002. That\u2019s over 20 years of running under my belt. I can honestly say that running is now a part of my life. It\u2019s something that just naturally occurs throughout my day and is no longer something that I have to try and \u201cfind time for.\u201d Running has brought on so many positive and negative aspects to my life. None that I would change. It has brought on lifelong friendships, great memories, bad memories, frustration, happiness, it has brought out the competitiveness in me to perform better each and every day. It also brought me my lovely wife, Sabrina, who had our wonderful sons. Without running, my life would be completely different today. I run because I want to be an inspiration to my sons, Myles and Chase. I run because it is a stress reliever. I run because it makes me feel strong. I run because it\u2019s just what we do.<br \/>\n<strong>Favorite post run snack\/meal?<\/strong> I always enjoy a nice breakfast burrito after a nice run. Hanging out with friends while eating this breakfast burrito is an added plus. Oh yeah, you can\u2019t forget the coffee!<br \/>\n<strong>Running Mantra:<\/strong><br \/>\n-It\u2019s just a hill, get over it.<br \/>\n-1 mile at a time<br \/>\n-Drive the knees<br \/>\n<strong>Occupation:<\/strong> I am a sports chiropractor, specializing in running injuries and back pain.<br \/>\n<strong>Hometown:<\/strong> I was born in Whittier, California and grew up in Norwalk, California.<br \/>\n<strong>What do you do for fun?<\/strong> I really enjoy going to brunch with my family and friends after a good run. I love spending time with my wife and two boys and going on vacations.<br \/>\n<strong>Do you have a secret talent? (Please share):<\/strong> No secret talents, but I do love me some dad jokes!<br \/>\n<strong>Anything else you\u2019d like your fellow Pacers to know?<\/strong> I am extremely excited to be the Marathon Coach for the Pasadena Pacers. Coaching gives me tremendous joy knowing that I am able to directly influence the lives of many people for the better. I really enjoy watching people succeed and accomplish goals that they never thought were possible for them. The human body is capable of amazing things if you allow it to grow, and if you have the right people around you to support that growth.
