About
Retired entrepreneur turned endurance athlete and writer. I've run across the United States, Europe, Brazil, and Spain. In 2018, a stray dog in the mountains of Brazil named Lucky chose to follow me and changed the trajectory of my life. I wrote a book about it. My wife Monica and I co-founded Friends of Lucky Caminho, a nonprofit supporting stray dogs along Brazil's Caminho da Fé trail.

I measure my pace by whether I can still hold a conversation. Then I heard a woman living with ALS explain what she recorded into a text to speech app so her real voice would say it out loud. Two men came back to me at once: Jamey, who crewed my Brazil 135, and my Uncle Walter, who kept running marathons from a wheelchair.
