I lived in France from 2 weeks old to 19 years old. Now I am in college in Boulder Colorado, pursuing the triathlon dream and earning a business marketing degree. What triggered my attraction to triathlon was a trip to Kona in 1998 where my father, one of the pioneers of triathlon in his country, Belgium, went on to win his 40-44 age group in the Hawaii Ironman. I remember finding that extraordinary. I was born in the US and I now race for the US since July 2015.
