Devon is a "Jack of all trades" and a master of several. Her degrees in English and Creative Writing (B.S. University of Washington), along with MLIS (University of Pittsburgh), and Personal Chef Certification (Bauman College) makes her a total package of experience and education. She uses that experience to continue a diverse workload as architectural lighting designer, librarian, and personal chef. Throw in the fact that she's one of the fastest American women at any distance over the marathon and it's quite impressive.

Devon's spare time (which is generally not much) is spent cooking, writing her personal cooking and training blog, reading, knitting, rock climbing and traveling.

Her favorite race is the Tahoe Rim Trail 50 Mile in Carson City, NV in late July, as its views are as beautiful as its terrain is brutal.

After starting her younger years in sports playing basketball and soccer, she was always the one with the best lungs for going all day. She ran her first half marathon in high school to see if she could make it and when she did, she decided to shoot for longer distance goals.

Devon's race at the 2007 Jed Smith 50k was her second ultra and the fastest time for an American woman at 50K in 10 years. She has been a scoring member of the United States 100Km Team for the last two years (2007, 2008).
