Non-notable athlete. Per WP:V / WP:RS, I am unable to confirm the "professional triathlete" claim or any of the other claims for that matter. Per WP:N / WP:NSPORT, the claims made do not necessarily equate to notability. It is entirely possible that the companies listed may have at one time or another provided something in the form of equipment or travel expenses but there is nothing on their websites claiming he is a sponsored athlete. The results listed are simply a rehash of what Athlinks has on file. These indicate that he has placed well only in what are generally local events. Best results from notable events appear to be a 33rd in Boston and a 3rd in his age group at Ironman California way back in 2001. Location (talk) 23:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to fall on the short side of WP:ATHLETE, which is easily the loosest notability criterion we have. Certainly fails the general notability criterion. Ray  Talk 23:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I found a couple of passing mentions in some newspapers, but nothing beyond trvial. Nothing to evidence that he is competing as a professional. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
