Ask someone to describe themselves in one word and most people have a hard time coming up with a single word answer.  For me, the answer has always been athlete.

I grew up playing soccer and for the better part of the first two decades of my life soccer was at the center of almost everything I did.  I played Division I soccer at the University of Pittsburgh, competed on several Olympic Development teams, and had aspirations to play professionally but an injury in college changed all that.  After several unsuccessful operations on my feet, I was forced to hang up my cleats.

With soccer off the table, I decided to go to medical school.  After I graduated, I completed an Emergency Medicine residency, serving as chief resident my final year.  I went on to work in a community emergency room back in my home town.

Clinical emergency medicine is a great platform to help people but it didn’t allow me to connect with the individuals I really wanted to help.  SportQuack was born out of a desire to help athletes in positions like I was in, struggling to compete because of injury or pain.  But as I started connecting with people, I realized I had the opportunity to help so many more people than just that – everyone from professional athletes, to weekend warriors, to age group competitors, to individuals simply searching for ways to live healthier, movement filled lives.

Despite no longer being able to play soccer, I never gave up on being an athlete and I have been able to apply the principles behind SportQuack to my own transition to running.  With some time and training, I not only realized that I loved to run but I was also fortunate enough to be good at it.  After finishing in the top 50 at the Boston Marathon in 2018, my current goal is chasing the 2020 Olympic qualifying standard in the marathon.
