About the runner

At 39, I live a full and grounded life as a clinical psychologist and a proud father of two. My days are shaped by meaningful work and shared moments with my wife and children. Trail running is more than a sport to me. It is a way to reconnect with nature, with myself, and with the present moment. The trails offer space to breathe, to move freely, and to find calm in motion. There is a quiet joy in the effort, in the solitude, and in the rhythm of the trail. This is where I feel most alive, doing something I love, in balance with the rest of life.
