Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

AM: 10 mile slog.

PM: 12 miles. Client meeting on the east side of the Clearwater Causeway got done in a hurry, so I had plenty of time for running at lunch. Met Quint a couple miles in and we ran west on the Causeway to just pass the hump. As we ran up the small pedestrian bridge, we saw a few dolphins swimming by. Different route, that really helped.

Lots o' mileage in a day. Making up from the bacon and cinnamon buns, I take it. :)

Trying! But I'm finding that burning off those extra round edges around the waist is really, really hard...

Are your clients Scientologists?

Nothing that interesting. This client has built most of their business around aggregating health care claims and enrollments for the Texas public school system and feeding them to Aetna.

If I ever feel the calling to Scientology, it will be pretty convenient between their HQ in Clearwater, and of course the SoCal main base where most of my family lives.

That's unlikely though. Tom Cruise never answered my letters I sent in 6th grade asking if he needed a new co-pilot after Goose died...and I'm still holding the grudge.

He resurrected himself as Dr. Mark Green on ER though.
