Personal:

I was married in 1997 to my beautiful wife Lybi (confessions of a piano teacher on the blog), and we have 3 wonderful boys who are just as active as I was when I was little (he he). I grew up in southeastern Michigan, and my family became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when I was 6. I attended BYU, and served a mission in Berlin, Germany. After graduating from BYU with a degree in Health and Human Performance (pre-physical therapy), I promptly changed careers and started working with computers (although no programming for me). We have moved across the country several times, and currently live in Mesa, AZ.  I work in computer security for a major nationwide homebuilder.

PM - another 4 miles this evening.  Didn't have time for more because Lybi had her missionary splits and it took a long time to put the boys down.  3 easy miles, last mile at MP.  Total time was 30:13, average pace of 7:33/mile.  Felt good, but I was a bit bummed I didn't get to do all 6 miles.  Better 4 than none, though.
