Introduction

I grew up in San Diego and still visit family there 3 times a year. Being from San Diego, I was accustomed to an active outdoor lifestyle 365 days a year. I've tried to maintain that same outdoor lifestye in MD by walking dogs, running, camping, etc.

Are you a runner-type, a hiker-type or a walker-type?

I'm a runner-type, running anything from a 5K to a marathon. I try to run 1 marathon a year with my most recent marathon being the 2011 Gettysburg North versus South marathon.

Do you have a dog you like to run with? What's his/her name and breed?

I am owned by Harley, a miniature schnauzer. One of the things that attracted me to this breed was I read they make great running companions. Harley is only 9 months old right now and I read that I should wait until he is 1 year old before introducing him to running so that his body is mature enough to handle the demands of running.

Do you have a specific microbrewery of which you are particularly fond that you might like to see sponsor?

I've been well served at the Ellicott Mills Brewing Company and since I live in Ellicott City, that is a "home game" for me. I also like this brewery because it is right near the Grist Mill Trail so I can build up a thirst hiking and have it immediately quenched upon my return. But I'm easily pleased and will drink anywhere.
