Personal: Born September 23, 1985 in Trenton, NJ. I started running track during my junior year of high school when a friend asked me to join the team. The passion for the sport grew tremendously and I ended up giving up fall football to focus predominantly on running and attaining an athletic scholarship during my senior season. My goals for the 2009 season are to achieve a medal at the World Championships in Germany and end the season ranked in the top ten in both the 100 and 200. After I have achieved all my goals in track and field I would like to pass my knowledge along as a sport performance coach.
