this guy is very interesting. he moved to flagstaff recently and now runs with the mckirdy elite athletes. he honestly seems to be in very good shape but hasn't translated to any significant race results yet. he crapped the bed at sunset 5k and i think ran a decent half at low 5min pace in the last month..so it looks like he is going to try to represent phillipines. he probably can do something on an international stage for them if he does go through with it since that country is pretty weak in terms of times/records for running.
his personality seems very peculiar based on his videos and kind of lines up with the fact he would lie about PRs on a coaching site lmao. no shade but i just get that vibe. guy is definitely a character and does seem to have some mental battles. he also says "ohmergawddd" every 10 seconds of his life in the videos which is a bit wild. kid is fast but yet to be seen just how fast. i assume he's in his late 20s. he won't ever be a legit pro but he seems to have something in the tank and said he's gone 'all in on running' and has no actual job because he 'got rich of real estate' back in california. that could be true since he really doesn't seem to work, so he must have no income and be living off savings. but who knows how much money is defined as 'rich'. the guy said he use to own hundreds of rental properties in the past and did show himself doing grunt work with airbnbs on youtube for like over a year so seems plausible but also just a really odd situation and lots of his story both with running and personal seem shady and unclear
