Daniel "cubicle dad" Malinski

Working dad of two awesome daughters, with a fabulous Pharmacist wife. I'm a runner who lost over 115 pounds while training and running the Chicago Marathon the last two years and raising funds for the American Heart Association. Some days balancing all of this is easy, other days I feel like I need to drink heavily.
