Writing

I’ve been running competitively since 1997 and writing about the sport since 2004. My work has been published in print and online by such media outlets as New England Runner, Running Times, Triathlete, the New York Road Runners, as well as the Telegram & Gazette, where I served as running columnist from 2005 until 2007. I was the letsrun.com Quote of the Day on March 19, 2005, still my greatest journalistic achievement to date.  Some samples of my work are linked below.
