    About Mike

    I didn't discover running until my 50s. At 52, I was grossly overweight and couldn't run a quarter mile. Two years later I completed Leadville and now, I'm chasing the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. I'm fascinated by what happens when ordinary people choose hard things. The miles have taught me far more than how to run—they've taught me about resilience, leadership, faith, discomfort, and the surprising gap between who we are today and who we're capable of becoming. I'd love to hear about the races, the lessons, and the adventure of rewriting your own story.
