Partners & Sponsors

I am excited to be working with T8 apparel as my underwear and hot weather apparel Sponsor. After chafe took me out of a 100 miler, I sought out an apparel solution that would eliminate that problem. T8 is made up of a crew of Australian Ultra Runners living in Asia that have created the best solutions for the hot and sticky conditions of Hong Kong and around the world. Their Commando boxer and Sherpa Short are “best in class”. Supercool, light, chafe-free with the best storage of any short I have ever worn, T8 is a major player in running long an strong in pure comfort. I will never look at racing 200 milers in fear with T8. Their Slogan: “Mind Over Mountain” is a philosophy that jives well with Cresting the Summit as ultras to me are about exploring our endless potential no matter how daunting the challenge. T8 also looks to give back to the trail running community through charity, community, and inspiration through running and their gear, something I truly look to do myself.
I am excited to be a Regional Sales rep for Jogology and athlete/ambassador. Jogology offers a unique perspective on performance socks designed for movement. Jogology takes things a step further by incorporating a fit design seen lead footwear designers incorporate. With their mid-foot lock-down, open seamless toe box and V-cut heel, you get a true sock that is an extension of your body. Most socks restrict movement while Jogology enhances it. Bert, Tanya and Luke have carved out an incredible range of socks with a company that gives back to the local communities within running through scholarships and philanthropy. I am so honored to be a part of the team.
I will be working with Instinct trail in 2025 as a Regional Account Manager as well as athlete. Sean, the owner makes some of the most functional packs, belts, and gear in the market today. One size fits all packs; made with durable materials and some of the most well-thought out storage solutions in the market today. You have to give them a try! As a new brand to the US, I am really excited to work with him and our shops to grow the brand here in New England and across the country.
I am pleased to announce that in 2024, I will be an athlete and also a sales rep in New England with Naak Nutrition. Naak, the first certified B corp sports nutrition company in the world. Naak believes in something called “ultra energy”. Complete nutrition for the longest and most extreme endurance efforts. We fixate so much on sodium and carbs that often overlook protein, fats, and the full range of the other 5 essential electrolytes. Naak has been exactly what I have been looking for in ultra running fuel and I am so lucky to be along for the run with them!
I am excited to be joining the Aravaipa Racing team for 2023 and 2024 and 2025. As a new member of the White Mountain Endurance division based out of New England, I look forward to doing my best to showcase and tell the great athlete stories and adventures to be found across New England and beyond. Aravaipa being a premiere race management, media, and events company have developed into being one of the pillars in the sport of trail and ultrarunning and I am humbled to be part of the team. It is going to be a lot of fun running races like Black Canyon, Javelina, Cocodona and much more.
White Mountain Endurance is an race management and events company based in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Co-Owner, Kristina Folcik is a friend I looked up to when I entered into the sport in 2013. With their combined partnership with Aravaipa Running, it is an exciting time to help grow the visibility and presence of true New England trail running to more of the masses. It is an incredible community and I am so pumped to help continue to grow the community and move it forward.
I am happy to be on the Squirrel Nut Butter Elite Adventure Team for 2022 and now 2023. Chaffing is bad and after using SNB at the NJ Westfield timed ultra, it has been something I have needed for all of my training and racing. After my DNF at Virgil Crest 100 mile due to chafe, SNB will help me never have to worry about chafe woes ever again. As I continue to push my limits in races 100 miles and beyond in the multi-day world, SNB will be a valuable partner in getting me to the finish healthy.
If you want running snowshoes, you need Dions. Bob and Denise Dion have created the “best in class” running shoes. They are modular so you can change the cleats based on your snow conditions, and a binding if it gets well-worn. This allows you to replace the parts of the snowshoe that need it, rather than buying a whole new one. These have been my trusted brand and my first I wore when I got into snowshoe running in 2012. If you like bounding through the snow as blistering fast paces like a snow hare, than Dions are your best bet.
With helping to get Confluence Running started as a business while I was in Graduate School, I like to think that I will forever be tied to the Confluence Running store and community. Matt, Jenna, Chris and company run a great business now with stores all across the region. From humble beginnings in Binghamton, NY now reaching Corning, Goshen and more. They have been advocates of myself in my professional and athletic careers throughout my time so I thank them all for their support.
I joined the CMS Club team in 2022 and have been enjoying being a part of an amazing community and club. As one of the oldest run clubs in New England, it is fun upholding some of that history. As an ultra runner, much of the races that CMS partakes in helps me mix things up and get some speed work in.
