Why 7 minute miles?
It’s the pace I’d need to run to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
The company
There is still a Minnesota company called 7 Minute Miles, LLC, that I own, but it is dormant. Originally founded as Golden Links Publishing Limited, projects included sports publishing, web development and technology consulting.
Hobbies and interests
The short tagline says husband, dad and nerd. An extended version would add runner, golfer, skier, mountain biker, foodie, photographer, traveler, music lover and stamp collector.
