What I do for work:
We are missionaries in Japan, who spend our home assignments in Colorado Springs, where my parents live. While in Colorado I substitute teach, coach tennis and officiate basketball. We are now living near the top of Mt. Agaki in Gunma Prefecture and serve as camp staff. It is 2 hours from Tokyo and a beautiful place to run and live

Places I’ve called home and why I like where I am now:
Tokyo Japan, Nashville, LaMirada CA, Seattle, Nagano Japan, Boulder Junction WI, (lived in Chicago but would never call it home!) Gunma Japan and Colorado Springs.
Colorado is such a great break from life in Tokyo! No smog, no crowds, and so much to do outdoors.

Running accomplishments: View my Pikes Peak Ascent/Marathon results

What I like about trail/mountain running:
Variety- and soft on the legs

Other hobbies and interests:
TENNIS

Other stuff:
Have complete the Nagano Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon (in Feb. 2014 along with 36,000 other runners but I am fortunate to have gotten a spot because entries are all by lottery and there is only a 1/10 chance of being chosen as 360,000 people enter! ) Please let me know if you are coming through Japan and need a place to stay- we can house over 40 people at Akagi Bible Camp
