Inspiration comes in many forms.

In 2015, I saw a movie called The Walk, which was the story of 24-year-old French high-wire artist Philippe Petit's walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on August 7, 1974. I was so inspired by this crazy, ridiculous, and audacious accomplishment I decided to do a ridiculous accomplishment of my own. One I swore I never could or would do. ie. Run a marathon.

One step at a time, I went from never running a race to finishing the grueling 26.2 miles from Dodger Stadium to Santa Monica Pier while raising thousands of dollars for charity. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I went on to complete the LA Marathon in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
