This blog is not only about running, it is the story of my life as it progresses through stories of travel, fitness, reviews and more.
my story
I grew up as a missionary kid traveling through Mexico, Central America and the United States. Spanish was my first language and I still remember not speaking English growing up. Growing up with 12 siblings ensured I had friends around me all the time. Some of my past experiences have included living as a migrant worker in a tent/bus, and training for ultramarathons since 12 years of age.
I now log my miles with Otis on the trails of Austin in bare feet or various types of footwear. Coaching is something that has developed out of my passion for natural fitness and running, I enjoy helping people get better at what I love to do. My focus has evolved from mostly running into a whole body natural fitness combining conditioning, cardio, running, parkour and natural method.
I live in Austin with my lovely wife Paula, my son Matthias and our running dog Otis. Together with Paula, I direct Ultramaraton Fuego y Agua on Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua, an extreme race with philanthropic goals.
My favorite thing besides being on trails is frozen yogurt and kombucha.
