(Denver, Pa.)
2011 Highlights: Won Hy-Vee 5150, St. Anthony’s and Ironman 70.3 Texas
“It is a real honor to be named 2011 USAT Male Triathlete of the Year. After taking a year and a half off (from any training), I did not know if I would even compete again. To come back at this level and receive this award leaves me speechless. Thanks to my family, friends, competitors, and USAT for getting me back into the sport.”

2011 Highlights: Finished as the first elite amateur at the Chicago Triathlon. Was also the amateur winner of the Wildflower Olympic-distance event and Ironman 70.3 Boulder.
