Which team are you running with?

Ingram Micro

How many times have you participated in the corporate challenge? 

3 times. This will be the 4th!

This is how it will pan out – I will attempt to run for about a half mile, MAYBE 3/4 a mile. Then I will stop, turn up my music and just walk the rest of the way until I find someone to make conversation with.

What do you like about the Corporate Challenge? What motivates you to participate?

It's for a great cause, as well as a great networking opportunity.

How do you prepare for the race?

I prepare by testing the local pizza and wing joints in the areas 3 days a week, to find out who has the best. The other 4 you can find me on the golf course (using a cart, of course).

Do you have any advice for first-time walkers or runners?

Don't do what I do to prepare.

Do you have any words of encouragement for the runners and walkers in tomorrow’s race?

Good luck and I wish everyone the best! See you out there!
