FUN FACTS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Wellness should be fun, right?
I've completed 6 full marathons (26.2 miles each) and my favorite so far is the Chicago Marathon, where the crowd energy is unmatched.
I've crossed the finish line of over 30 half marathons (13.1 miles). My standouts: the Brooklyn Half Marathon and the Seawheeze Half Marathon in Vancouver (yes, the Lululemon one and yes, it's as fun as it sounds).
I've completed over 20 Obstacle Course Races, including Spartans, Tough Mudders, the Men's Health Urbanathon, and Hyrox. I do them because discomfort is a teacher.
I organized and led a group of over 20 Black travelers to Reykjavik, Iceland to participate in the Reykjavik Marathon weekend. Many of these travelers completed their very first half-marathon or 5K. Getting people to their first finish line, anywhere in the world, is one of my greatest honors.
I'm on a mission to race in every U.S. state (plus DC). Current count: 17 states, and I'm not done.
I've traveled to all 7 continents, including Antarctica, where I took the Polar Bear Plunge into near-freezing water. Some lessons in resilience you have to feel to believe.
Completed Berlin Half Marathon (2016)
Completed First Hyrox (2026)
Exploring Antartica (2019)
