Advice for someone wanting to start a race or get into running?
I think starting early. I mean if you feel the passion that you want to be in it, get your hands dirty and get in the industry however you can. If you stay focused on what you're doing, it'll all fall into place for you.
Work your way into it. Suppose it's race directing, entrepreneurship, and starting your own business, the same advice. Do it. Just shoot your shot and see what happens.

Favorite Books
Right now, I'm reading Running With Purpose. It’s by the CEO of Brooks, Jim Weber

The thing that I really love that I have to have when I go running is a hat. And we get our hats from BOCO, which stands for Boulder, Colorado.
Here's number two for me. And this is in the camping world. I always like to have one thing with me that's my luxury piece. Maybe I'm bringing a nice chair with me or something cause I'm car camping. But the go-to for me recently has been no matter like what type of camping I'm doing, I got one of those inflatable Sea to Summit pillows.
