Endurance Dad
What happens when a busy dad, husband, military veteran, and orthopaedic surgeon—who once couldn’t even run down the block—decides to rewrite his story? Endurance Dad is a journey of transformation, resilience, and endurance. From struggling to jog a mile to crossing Ironman finish lines, completing marathons, triathlons, and now training for an ultra marathon, I’ve learned that limits are meant to be broken.
In this podcast, I’ll share my experiences—the highs, the lows, and the lessons in between—along with insights from athletes, experts, and everyday people pushing past their own barriers. Whether you’re chasing your first race or looking for motivation to take on your next challenge, this show is for you.
Because the toughest step isn’t the last one—it’s the first.
