Well, the past 4 1/2 years in Madison have been quite the trip, and it seems there's plenty more in the wings of my Dog and Pony Show!! I've adapted pretty well to the corporate world of the title insurance industry over at DCTC. I've taken a roundabout way to the Capital City since the days of growing up in Spooner. Put in four years at Point and wouldn't hesitate to do that again. Living in Spooner was a great time, but it appears I'm better suited to things down here- lots more to do, even ice fishing with the Capitol in the background. Made some pretty cool friends over the years here, and still have the best close at hand with Paul down here. Things about me? I enjoy beer and running year 'round, especially when there are opportunities to combine the two, such as the Point Bock Run. It's a cheap hobby, you know? Except for the binges that follow when the Madison contigent throws down afterward, but replacing those carbs and calories is important for fueling the next day's workout. Biking is the new summer gig and there are plans to really branch out this summer. During the cold months, it's skating, shooting pucks, and bocce on the ice with High Life in hand by Picnic Point hauling in monster pike. To put it all together, I guess, is to say that I enjoy putting myself to the test, whether it's trying to crank out a 30-minute 5-miler, gutting out 60 miles on the bike in Western Dane Co., lugging a pack around the Porkies, or putting in the effort of dragging my gear onto the ice in pursuit of a hog walleye. There are plenty of people out there that can boast about their money, car, job or whatever, but when someone suggests they bust their ass for something, they crumble like so much sandstone into Lake Superior. So to all those folks out there, let's get loaded during Homecoming, toe the line at the Fall 15k, and see where you're at.
