Personal:  Born and raised in Fairport NY, Bob is a self-employed contractor living in Bloomfield NY with his wife Kathy and daughters, Jessica 19 and Lindsey 16. After 20 years of smoking, Bob decided at the age of 37 to “get in shape”.

He completed his first sprint triathlon in 1998, never believing he would ever consider an Ironman distance race. With the prompting of training partners, he decided to take on the Lake Placid challenge. Bob also enjoys back- packing, mountaineering and underground lawn dart competitions.

Athletic Portfolio/Accomplishments: 

A minimalist at heart when it comes to training, I have no structured “plan” other than to enjoy the training whether alone or with friends.
