I was born in California and grew up on an Avocado Ranch in Cambria. I love both cultures and want to continue building bridges with the running platform. The best way to explain my love for both countries is that Mexico is like my mother who nurtured and raised me and the USA is like my father who provided and created opportunity.

IT IS FINISHED ๐Ÿฅ‡!! Couldnโ€™t have asked for a better finish ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Got to celebrate with my family and run it in together.

Ultra Guatemala ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡น is the hardest ultra Iโ€™ve done. 23 thousand feet of climbing three times tagging 13 thousand foot volcanoes ๐ŸŒ‹, and one super burly descent, with a lot of technical sections ๐Ÿ˜ฎ.

Wasnโ€™t expecting to win this one to be honest. Spent most of the night and day in 3rd and sometimes 2nd, so it was quite the gift to retire this way ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป.

More to come. For now vacation, rest, recovery ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Big shoutout to for all the help ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ. Fun to finally experience this legendary race.

Donโ€™t worry guys im not pulling a Brett Favre move here ๐Ÿ˜œ, this last โ€œfun runโ€ was already planned as a way to celebrate with the family a change in my relationship with running ๐Ÿ˜Š.

This 100k in Antigua Guatemala ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡น is for my wife Jade and our two boys. We are here with all 4 grandparents celebrating Jades birthday and taking a fun vacation ๐Ÿคฉ.

Iโ€™ll be running a 100k that starts at 10pm and climbs all three volcanoes ๐ŸŒ‹. The family will get to come watch tomorrow at 79k and finish ๐Ÿ.

I first heard about this race on a mission trip and have always wanted to do it. And my friend who ran the 42k encouraged me to do it. Itโ€™s going to be super burly but so fun to finally experience these mountains โ›ฐ๏ธ.

When you go to bed, please say a little prayer for me and all the other runners ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ . Mainly for safety and fun. My goal for this race is just to have fun, finish ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ, and celebrate with my family.

The new relationship with running begins today ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ.
