used to run far; however, like some ol' wise guy once said, "the job of the athlete is simple: to keep moving."

A writer, teacher, father, and husband, you are sure to see him cruising the forests of his St. John River Valley home in New Brunswick, Canada, still happy as can be–even without the running.
