Posted: 28 Jun 2010 09:58 AM PDT Besides my family, I have two passions in life: video gaming and running. My job is a Technology Evangelist for NVIDIA. I get to travel around the world pushing the level of realism in games to the next level. On the other side, I enjoy Ultra Marathon running and training for those events. I am motivated by technology and the information that is given to me. I just recently finished up my second 100 mile race. 149 people started the San Diego 100 Endurance Run. 90 finished and I came in 40th place with a time of 26 hours and 12 minutes. I am proud to use technology as a part of my training. Technology plays an integral part in the success of my Ultra Marathon completions (currently 20+ events ranging from 50K to 100 miles). While my times aren't putting any pressure on the front runners, I have come a long way from being 240lbs about 10 years ago.During the training for my events, I rely pretty heavily on technology. I enjoy the data that is presented to me and it's always motivating to load up a GPS track from a previous event and view it in Google Earth. It gives me an appreciation for the areas I have been and the things that I have seen. It's fun to see the tracks I laid down in Korea, London, Germany, and Brazil. Here's a list of things I use and why:
Technology plays a huge role in who I am. Technology motivates me, excites me, and pushes me to advance further in my career and life. I'll be the first to admit, I'm a geek. It's who I am. |
