Jon and his wife are high school sweethearts with 4 boys!
Burning River will be his first 50 miler. Running is a great way for Jon and his wife to connect - she’s planning to do the relay and they get out on training runs together.
Jon runs is to be a positive role model for my kids and because he loves being outside which he does not get to do much with his work as a tax accountant.
Jon is a big believer in the Stockdale Paradox: “You must face the brutal facts of your reality while never losing the unwavering faith that you’ll persevere in the end.” This has been a really impactful and powerful theory as his family has faced challenges with their kids, including 5 open heart surgeries.
