ABOUT
I was introduced to triathlon much later than i would have liked, at 27 years old. Since then i have not looked back and am now going on my 11th season of racing and 10th season as a professional triathlete. I love triathlon because training for 3 sports keeps things interesting as well as incredibly challenging. This continues to draw me to the sport, knowing there is always something to improve upon and i can always continue to get better. 

 

 

FAVORITE PRODUCT
TriSwim Testimonial - I cannot believe i have gone this long without this product. I have always suffered from itchy skin post chlorine swims, and TriSwim Body wash completely takes that feeling away as it removes the Chlorine. I am in love with the Shampoo, Conditioner and Body lotion as well and my hair and skin has never felt better since i have started using TriSwim Products.
