ABOUT
My passion is wildlife conservation and have been a vegan since high school. I ran cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track at Eastern Ill. University, where I was the school's only four-time NCAA All American. Led Eastern Ill. U. to the National team championship in 1977. Was Armed Forces National Champion in cross country, and track 5k, and 10k.
Since moving to Washinton state and joining Club Northwest have won over twenty USATF National championship metals. Led five Club Northest teams to National Championships in 50-59 division and over 60.
My wife Lori is a professor at Central WA University and my daughter Nika lives in Seattle. We enjoy spending time with our three horses, two dogs and three cats.
