TJ has been on staff since the very first Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon.  He runs everything you hear at the start/finish area on race day. He also helps with every Kids Marathon event and our New Holland Beer Runs. He has supporting roles helping with marketing, food and sponsor relations.

He is new to actually being a runner, at the influence of his smoking hot girlfriend that he does not deserve.  He thoroughly enjoys the planning process, as well as race day events.
