As a distance runner, I did not expect that one of my biggest supporters on the cross country team would be the throws coach.
Robert treated me with the utmost respect and dignity during my time at Stanford. He encouraged me to give my best and played a large role in my success at Stanford. My fondest memory was after we won the 2003 National Cross Country Championships in an American record low-score. He gave me a huge Robert-bear hug and told me how proud he was of how I finished my career at Stanford. He supported my thermal regulation research efforts and intellectual pursuits too. The lessons I learned from working with Robert I carry forward into my future career in medicine, and I hope to act with the same integrity in my personal interactions as Robert did with me.
