How did you hear about Pacifica Runners?

Found the group on social media when preparing to move to Pacifica from Southern California a few years ago.

How long have you been a runner?

On and off for 30+ years, but Pacifica Runners is my first ever running club!

How did you get into running?

I think running is life for most children, so I started back then. My most serious running was as an adolescent running track. I want to get more into running for physical and mental health.

Do you have a favorite race(s)?

My favorite race was a now-defunct Nike run called "One Hit Wonder". The race would host one-hit wonder bands at each kilometer of a 5K. I love short fun 5Ks, and especially if they feature Young MC and Digital Underground!

What are your favorite running trails/routes?

My go-to route is from Sharp Park pier up to Mori Point and back.

What are your future running goals?

Consistency (5 days per week), distance (more each week) and results (weight loss and stress management).

What do you enjoy most about Pacifica Runners?

I enjoy the vibes of Pacifica Runners. It's not your average running club. I sense a "come one, come all" welcoming spirit that allows space for very serious runners to more casual runners to those just starting to get involved, and all points in between. Also, outside of Hawaii, I can't think of a more beautiful setting for running than Pacifica!

Any other cool info about yourself?

My wife Jessica and I live in Sharp Park with our adorable rescue pup Mia. I work remotely for the Los Angeles Times where I'm the business leader of its podcast and television efforts.
