Founded by triathlete Emilio De Soto II, De Soto Clothing Company has been in existence since 1990. Each time that I have contact the company, my emails have been personally answered by Emilio. De Soto’s clothing quality and customer service live up to their claim as “The World’s Finest Triathlon Gear!” The De Soto brand is my training and racing clothing of choice.

I am proud to be a partner of the Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation in their mission to promote prevention, early detection and research to end melanoma. This is a natural partnership given the substantial amount of time that I spend training outside in the sun.

Rainmaker Publishing LLC co-founder, Michaela Gaaseruud, first solicited me as a contributing author to their first book, From Fairbanks to Boston: 50 Great U.S. Marathons (I authored the write-ups on the Disney and Myrtle Beach Marathons). I approached Rainmaker with the idea to write about my experiences with cancer and triathlons and suddenly I was on the way to fulfilling my dream to author a book – Full Time and Sub-Nine.

Dr. Melanie Six has been a tremendous friend and supporter this year as she has helped keep me in top form through Active Release Technique (ART) and Chiropractic adjustments. Based out of her office in Alexandria, Melanie is one of only a few fully certified ART professionals in the metro DC area.

Specializing in Active Release Techniques™ (ART), Active Isolated Stretching (AIS), Deep Tissue, Sports and Therapeutic Massage, Georgetown Sports Massage therapist Terrel Hale has helped me stay injury free through regular sport massage and ART.
