Help me welcome Kate to DailyBurn!

by Andy on February 8, 2010

We’re excited to introduce you to a new member of the DailyBurn team. Kate Brown is joining us as the new DailyBurn Community Manager. While we’re working on some great new features for the site, Kate will be working on tons of fun ways for you engage with other DailyBurn fanatics across the web.

Kate lives in Denver, CO. A self-proclaimed “triathlon geek”, Kate has been an endurance athlete since she could spell the word “track”. With a background in nordic skiing, running, open-water swimming, and cycling, Kate has always incorporated weight training into her endurance programs. She has also dabbled in Bikram yoga, rock climbing, field hockey, ultimate frisbee, snowboarding, spinning, tennis, and more . . . if it’s active, she’s into it. She does admit, however, that she is “a very bad golfer”.

Born and raised on the coast of Maine, Kate began working in the specialty food industry in Portland, ME. Portland was named “America’s Foodiest Small Town 2009” by Bon Appétit’s Andrew Knowlton, and is home to some of the pioneers of the American Farm to Table movement. Inspired by the chefs, bakers, and farmers in the community, Kate learned how to cook healthy meals that tasted as good as they looked.

She is passionate about helping people get excited about getting fit. For her next personal challenge, Kate is thinking about giving CrossFit a try.

Fun fact about Kate: She can shuck a lobster in under a minute. Did you know that the average lobster has 43 grams of protein? Just make sure you skip the butter.

I hope you will join me in welcoming Kate to our community!
