We interviewed Alan to really get to know him, outside of his profession, and we were surprised to learn that he has participated in several Tough Mudder and Spartan races! He also believes the Mudder ElectroShock obstacle is something everyone should experience at least once.
I was born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, in the rural town of Weyers Cave to be exact.

My ability to find humor in almost anything.
