While a mere 0.05% of the U.S. population has completed a marathon and African Americans make up just 6% of the country’s runners, these stats, when woven together, help tell a compelling and inspiring tale of perseverance and growth. Every Runner, Every Day highlights the journey of overcoming failure, embracing resilience, and discovering that becoming a runner is as simple as taking that first step.

I’m a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), USATF Level 1 Coach, Certified Running Gait Analyst, and a USATF Marathon Specialist. Having completed 36 marathons and over 150 road races, I founded Run 4 the Love LLC in 2015, a company dedicated to offering running solutions, race direction, training programs, and fostering a love for the sport. Born and raised in Brooklyn, I graduated from Columbia University in 2009 and now live in River Vale, New Jersey with my wife and two children.

Every Runner, Every Day, available on Amazon, was published on December 15, 2024, and is my first book. It’s more than a memoir about running—it’s a reflection on the journey from Brownsville, Brooklyn to Bergen County, New Jersey, and everywhere in between.
