I am training for and running 26.2 miles on October 25th, 2026 to honor my family and friends that have proudly served this nation as Marines, especially my grandfather who served as a Marine in the Korean War and would likely finish ahead of me in this race if he were to sign up!

I'm proudly supporting Semper Fi & America's Fund as a Community Athlete for the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon Semper Fi & America's Fund Team.

Semper Fi & America’s Fund cares for our Nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families. Supporting all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, we provide one-on-one case management, connection, and lifetime support. Today. Tomorrow. Together.
