My goal for this race is to finish in under 5 hours. I am a full time student preparing to take the LSAT and want to show others that even with a busy schedule, it is still possible to achieve personal goals.

For a long time, I avoided sharing my own struggles because I was afraid of what other people might think. I'm super grateful for the opportunities I've been given: I’m blessed to go to my dream school, I'm the vice president of my fraternity, and I am blessed with the ability to push my limits through fitness challenges. I've ran a 3 hour marathon, done an IRONMAN 70.3, and completed an ultramarathon and I'm grateful to be able to push my body in ways I never would have thought of in the past. But at the same time, I convinced myself my problems didn't count. I thought I wasn't struggling enough to ask for help, so I just felt stuck and without purpose. And I think a lot of people are in that same position where they're dealing with things that feel too small to talk about, so we don't talk about them at all. But fitness taught me that real strength isn't just physical but its mental. Where just like physical fitness, mental fitness isn't built all at once. It's built through the small things we do every day, whether that’s showing up when we don't feel like it, keeping promises to ourselves, and learning from the challenges we face. So for the past 50 or so days I've been sharing my journey to IRONMAN California through the training as well as mindset lessons I've learned through fitness all to raise awareness for mental health while also fundraising for Quest, an organization that improves mental fitness in college students.

Each race leading up to my eventual IronMan is just another brick being laid. Working 40 hours a week and commuting down to NYC from Albany NY to see my girlfriend most weekends, while simultaneously putting in 10-12 hours of running, biking and swimming every single week. To say that my passion has become another full time job is an understatement. I'd love to work with anyone who is willing to pursue the dream of being an athlete first then an employee.
