Welcome to “Good Guys Tri“

Mom always said, “Try to be good!”   So GoodGuysTri is both my personal story of endurance sport (TRIathlon and each sport individually) and fundraising for an awesome charity organization that inspires, educates, and empowers our Youth called impossible2Possible [i2P].  I hope this site inspires you to get active, do good and becomes a place to find inspiration.

Along with fundraising and inspiration, the site will promote charity events, great articles, race reports and hopefully the feeling that you too can achieve your unique goals.

Bottom line: Good Guys make the effort and simply try to do good in the world.

Raison d’etre

I am like you… another human being with responsibilities [a Dad, husband, employee, friend, son etc.] trying to squeeze every ounce out of life.

“Living Life Intentionally” is a motto that I developed many years ago; to me it signifies that life requires understanding, effort, and strategies to ensure success. Whether it be in marriage, parenthood, or triathlon goal, positive outcomes are managed. My individual playground is endurance sport – my personal peace and meditation in action. Pushing myself past mental and physical barriers makes me appreciate how far I can really go and what is truly important….

My kids could care less about a sub 1:30 half marathon, they just want to see a smile on my face. Not a bad way to approach a race… especially when smiling during a sub 1:30 1/2 marathon performance!

My goal is to engage in great causes and leverage my love of endurance sport to do some good. I have enjoyed several events as a volunteer (formally and informally), some are highlighted below:
