Co-Founder and co-creator of one of Miami's signature destination events: The Life Time Miami Marathon. In 20 years this event has infused over $200 Million to the local economy. Many said Miami couldn't support a marathon... I am proud to say we continue to prove that theory wrong! Running in Miami and the rest of the US is alive and growing rapidly. Much of that is credited to the success of endurance destination events like the Miami Marathon and the events associated with Life Time. Enhancing Miami's Quality of Life through participant sport events is most certainly one my continuous objectives. I also enjoy coaching Cross Country at Belen, I am most proud of leading the team to 12 State Championships and 1 SE National Regional Nike NXN Title. My other passion is the creation of what has become the World's Largest Weekly Free Run Club - The Baptist Health Brickell Run Club Powered by Nike. The Run Club is now part of a group (runclubnetwork.com) of 8 Run Clubs in the South Florida Area (South Beach, West Kendall, Weston, Old Cutler, Gables, Kendall, Homestead, Doral).
