Raconteur. Humble. Awesome. Likely, a waste of your time. I collect experiences like a kid collects baseball cards. Creativity & entertainment are my passions. I’m on a journey to become a triathlete. Most of this space will be devoted to that. If the particulars of my training, nutrition, obstacles, and achievements are of interest to you, check this space often. I Facebook and Tweet and other fun non-triathlon things. Links are below.
