New Sponsor - Altra Shoes!

I received some exciting news over the weekend - I was selected to be an ambassador for Altra shoes! My dad passed away when I was young but I remember his lessons about how hard work pays off and you can do whatever you put your mind to. I think he would smile to know that hard work over the last few years led to sponsorship from one of the biggest running shoe companies in the country.

Part of the application process was to make a video, so my goal was to make a video as funny as humanly possible. Thankfully I got some pretty funny suggestions during the production. Would you like to see the video? Great!


I'm really excited to see what 2014 brings. I've got some cool races coming up and I'm psyched that I'll be able to do them with these cool shoes strapped to my feet.

    My 7 year old son just watched this me, kept telling me I should get these shoes, and then when you said "what did the fox say" we were rolling with laughter. He loved this. He asked if you really got bit by a rattlesnake and could you really stand Michael Bolton (he hated his commercials that were on recently)(that is all he knows about MB)
    He was also impressed dog poop did not stick to your shoes.
    This was all the better having watched it with my kid. Now we are going to watch it again.

    Congrats on getting ambassador!

    Congratulations, Mr. Altramarathoner!
    I've never worn Altras, but I will try a pair because they support you.
