I found sobriety on April 8, 1997, a date I will never forget. I credit my success in recovery to my passion for active pursuits. After swearing off substance abuse, I turned my focus to boxing at a local gym in Boston and ice climbing and mountaineering in nearby White Mountain National Forest. Since then, I have climbed mountains in the Himalayas, Andes, and Alaska, and completed six Ironman triathlons in countries around the world. It is safe to say that finding athletics and staying sober saved my life. It also helped me to define myself as something other than an addict.
 My goal as a Solo rider is to bring awareness to the things an individual can do if they can beet addiction. Please learn more about my mission, story and my non-profits mission at  http://www.phoenixmultisport.com/
