Why Winter Park? My sister lived here in 2003-05 and I used to come visit her on holidays.  After experiencing the atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and how the town was so community driven, I fell in love.  I know that when I graduated from college I had to move out here!

Favorite run at Winter Park: Sunnyside Trees.

What do you do during the off season?  Go back home! Fish at our family beach house, a lot of hiking, trail running, camping, ultimate frisbee, cross-country mountain biking, festivals and concerts, and pretty much anything that keeps me busy outside.

Fun fact: I love giving and am bad at receiving, I'm a jack-of-all-trades (if it's broken, generally, I can fix it.  If it's not broken, I'll take it apart and make it better - I love working on vehicles). Last but not least, I'm a Ginger!

Fun fact: I've never met a dog I didn't like :)
