361 Degrees: Footwear Sponsor- 361 Degrees is all about going "One Degree Beyond".With their patened "Qu!ck Foam", their shoes offer a nice cushioned and responsive ride with ample toe flex in the forefoot. Their shoes have nice flexible uppers that offer some ample toe splay but really give you a more natural feel all in a conventional high-mileage shoe. I am excited for this partnership with them to help develop their Trail line-up of footwear and will be my go-to choice for all of my training and racing. When running ultras, it is all about going "One Degree Beyond" and I look forward to the future.
Janji/ Janji Corp Athlete
Janji is a Performance Apparel Company that was started by two collegiate runners from University of Washington St Louis: David Spandorfer and Michael Burnstein. They noticed that Hydration was so important in having a great run and that so many people across the globe LACK Clean drinking water. By combining the two concepts, they formed Janji. Janji gives back by providing 10% of each garment sold to Clean Water initiatives in countries that each apparel item is crafted to represent. With their #Runnomadic and #Runforanother , Janji allows for the runner to support more in their running endeavors. I am so pumped to represent such a great company in all of my Ultra/Trail/Snowshoe endeavors.
Janji Corp is a team of like-minded runners that work together to educate people on the benefits of "Running for Another" by Giving Back. Through their efforts and promotion, the goal is to showcase the benefits of giving back through running and to help promote the various Clean Water Initiatives that Janji tackles each and every day. It is more than an Apparel company, rather one that helps change lives across the globe! I am very lucky to be joining such a great group of individuals.

I am excited to be back to racing in Dion snowshoes, the only modular snowshoe of its kind and the running snowshoe you see on the feet of most snowshoers out there. Started by super couple Bob and Denise Dion in Southern Vermont, Dion snowshoes make you feel light and fast on any snow conditions. What makes a Dion snowshoe unique is the ability to change the cleats, frame and bindings to customize the shoe based on the conditions you might be facing. Dions happened to be the very first running snowshoe that I had worn and am excited to be working with the Dion family to help boost there excellent range of running snowshoes. Try the combination I like to train and race with: the new Model 120 Laser Frames with Deep Cleat and Secure-Fit Binding!
