Summer Race Season Updates, another XTERRA Trail Running Regional Title, and an exciting new athletic sponsorship with M

With the summer race season in full swing, I've been embraced by immense success, thus far, during the 2011 season. As of recently, I've been crowned the 2011 XTERRA Pocono Trail Run Series Regional Champion, which is my second consecutive XTERRA Regional Title. Also, Michelob ULTRA and I have partnered up for an exciting new athletic endorsement opportunity. Additionally, I have started to receive some pictures back from the Nea Bristol photo shoot. With championship season fast approaching, there's a lot of excitement this this year and I'd like to share some exciting new updates with you.

Track & Field Contributor at Access Athletes


I'm continuing to write for Access Athletes as the Track & Field expert contributor. Access Athletes is the trusted educational resource for elite athletes. I interview track & field professional and elite athletes, as well as coaches. Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jamaican 400 Meter Track Star and 2012 Olympic Hopeful Dominique Blake.

Photo Shoot

I have recently shot with world-renowned photographer, Nea Bristol, who specializes in art photography. She is highly trained and skilled in both traditional film photography and fine arts. The pictures will be finalized in the next couple of weeks.

New Company

My new sports consulting and marketing company will be fully launched by the end of summer. The stakes are set very high for this company and we plan on bidding to work the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, along with providing support to many other extreme sporting events globally. 

The company’s niche market will include the extreme, endurance, and adventure sports industries.

New Websites

After almost a year since I took my former athlete site down, I will be launching my new website by early fall. It will be a work of art and has an industrial theme. The new corporate site will also be launched in the near future. 

Once the company is fully launched, I am considering sponsoring a select group of extreme sports athletes to further brand my firm. Stay tuned!
