Biography:
There I was, half naked in 3” inseam running shorts. I run a bit, limp a bit, complain a lot to anyone that will listen. Quit running, take up rock climbing, hurt myself probably soon doing that and hopefully run again. Repeat this for 12 years.

N/A

Hmmm.

None.

Quote that Jeff is leaving in here from my old bio, because it’s hilarious:
“Work hard and play hard. Don’t waste your time doing Yoga.”
