What a difference a week makes

Published on 7 April 2008 in Life Updates, Training Updates

I guess all I needed was a fresh start. With a new quarter of school underway, things seems to be going great. I have a great schedule of classes with some strong professors. I also am lucky enough to get some practical experience working as an extern for the IRS Office of Chief Counsel’s Seattle office. The internship has been an informative and exciting experience so far. I have previously worked representing taxpayers, and it is interesting to see how the other side handles each case.

Athletically, things are also going well. Since the last time I posted, my training results gradually crept back to an acceptable level. Yesterday I was training with an old friend Dan Haakenson and broke through with some results I haven’t seen all year. I’m very excited for my first competition this week, where I will be competing with another friend, former USC All-American Adam Midles. On a related note, UW Law the University of Washington School of Law’s Alumni Magazine, printed an article about my athletic pursuits in the most recent edition. Check it out here.

  • About Me

    I lead two lives: during the day you’ll find me in my suit and tie as an international tax attorney, but after work I’m training hard as the Swiss national hammer throw champion. Follow me as I work towards the 2012 Olympics and explore this site to learn more about the hammer throw and my various pursuits. Also consider donating to the Evergreen Athletic Fund, a non-profit organization I’ve founded.
