Wheels4Life Presentation at Jantar das Massas




It was quite and honor to have the stage for a few moments to highlight the efforts of everyone who has put in an incredible about of time and money in to this project over the last few months.

Seven children from Ratones school in Florianopolis joined us on stage to receive their brand new Houston Bike. All of these children were selected by their teachers, not only for their necessity of the bikes, but also for earning good marks in school over the last year.


I had a chance to rap out with these little guys for a bit and it was great to see their enthusiasm for receiving the bikes. Despite the heavy rains that night all of them wanted to ride the bikes right away back to their house, so I know these bikes will get some good use out of them!

Race Recap

Wow. What a day!

Glory to God for giving me the desire and ability to compete in such an amazing event.


My plan race plan was to pace well enough to make sure I finished and did not have to suffer any injuries…Well, 11 hours and 48 minutes after the starting gun, Fernanda and I crossed the finish line.

Thanks to those of you who have supported this entire Ironman effort over the last 6 months.

From all of you who have hooked up the amazing swag, deals, discounts, and goodies…on bikes, shoes, gear, and everything else, to everyone who has passed along helpful training tips, coaching, advice, sports rehabilitation, and finally to everyone who shares in the vision to make this world a better place and have contributed to the Wheels 4 Life Project, I give you all my gratitude and appreciation.

I especially want to thank my sponsors who contributed to making this whole project possible. It was their commitment to improving social wellness and ultimately having a passion for triple bottom line business that made this dream a reality.

The collaboration of people all striving for positive progression in this world is probably the most valuable thing I have experienced in this entire process. Whether it be companies who share in the vision to run their business serving both people and planet, or all the amazing people in the triathlon community who delight in encouraging each other to overcome new heights and challenges, the truly inspiring take away is the beauty that occurs when we put the greater good ahead of ourselves in effort to make this world a better place!

We are all ready looking to sign up for another Ironman this year and would love to be able to continue the momentum from this project. Perhaps we continue to provide transportation to those in need with Wheels 4 Life, or perhaps there are other things we can do that promote positive progression. Either way, we will be sure to enjoy the journey along the way as we collaborate with all of you!
