Doctors always assumed that an episode of rheumatic fever as a child damaged my aortic valve. However, it was discovered during surgery that my leaking valve was actually mostly due to a congenital heart defect.
love sports, training, and pushing myself. Competed in basketball and volleyball. Now primarily a distance runner, dabbling in tri's and cycling events. Also enjoy writing, with a novel and screen credit to my name. Family guy, with 2 kids.
