Running - I run about 70 - 100+ miles per week, and I am currently training for various marathons and ultra-marathons throughout California. Below, are the 2013 races I am currently registered for, but I will most likely sign-up for more races in the summer and fall. Some say my schedule is crazy. I say it keeps me sane. Running is my passion, and if I am not running, I would always rather be running.

Beer - I try to offset some the calories I burn running with craft beers. I love the craft beer scene in the US, and I am always up for a good IPA or stout. Some of my favorite breweries are: Dogfish Head (Delaware), Bell's (Michigan), Stone (California), Three Floyd's (Indiana) and Anderson Valley (California).

Photography - I take my camera everywhere, check out some of my recent favorites on the [photos] page. Right now, I am shooting with a Nikon D3100 and hoping to invest in a 10mm lens soon. I am also in the process of organizing nearly 20,000 pictures I have taken over the last 10 years or so. Stay tuned, more to come.

Hiking - I try to hit the trails twice a month. Nothing beats an afternoon in the woods and a gorgeous view at the summit. Hoping to hike Yosemite's Half Dome this Fall.

Sailing - I would love to learn to sail while living on the coast. There are too many beautiful days here to not spend some of them on the water.
