To better understand who I am, here is a little background of myself. I am a very physically active individual. To be specific, I do endurance type races such as Ironman Triathlons, marathons and half marathons. I use these type of events to raise money for charity and for my local church called Life Christian Center. I am highly involved with my community by volunteering at community events and feeding the homeless. I am involved in a non profit organization that helps bring food to many parts of San Diego who are a low income community.
