About The Team

Our Story.
Our Mission.

#TeamKICKASS is a group of amateur athletes and fitness enthusiasts that aim to promote fitness and support causes that have meaning to our members. We are cyclists, runners, triathletes, and anyone else that enjoys being active. What your activity is isn’t important, it’s all about doing what you love, having fun, and doing something good for your community.

The team started as a way to honor the memory of Tom Sanitate. Tom fought pancreatic cancer for over three years and was always positive and lived life to the fullest. As the team has grown, each member brings their own inspiration for what they do. We aim to bring that same spirit Tom fought with to inspire others to be active, enjoy life, and give back to their communities.

Vee Kingsley – Co-Founder

Vee is the energizer bunny of #TeamKICKASS. Her energy and positivity is contagious, and helps fuel our endeavors. She also happens to be a fitness instructor and is returning to running.

When Vee began running, she went all in. In 4 years, she ran 56 half marathons, 6 marathons, and two 50k trail races (both in a three-weekend period), not to mention multiple 5k and 10k’s and completed some sprint triathlons. With all of that running, it’s easy to see how she got Scott running too.

Fitness instruction has become a big part of her focus. At one time or another, Vee has been certified for over 20 formats, including Les Mills, Zumba, Beachbody, and others. She was also a certified personal trainer. As she began to work yoga into her own fitness program, she fell in love with the grounding that it brings. In 2018, she completed a 200-hour yoga teacher certification through Create Karma to round out her teaching arsenal.

Scott Kingsley – Co-Founder

When it comes to cycling, Scott is your man. A bike has been a part of his life for longer than he can remember, starting as a way to get around as a kid, then as a way to stay in shape and compete as an adult. He began racing on the road before finding Cyclocross and then gravel and racing on Zwift. He is also the tech editor and a photographer for BikeWorldNews.com.

Through Vee, he started running. It all started when he began following her at races by bike with a camera to catch her in action. Vee decided Scott should give running a try again, having not seriously ran since cross country in college. With only a 4-mile run in March and a 3-mile run in May, he completed his first half marathon in 2016. He has since run three other halfs, a 30k, and multiple 5K and 10K events. Duathlons are next on his list.

Scott is also runs Lancaster Beard Company, the brand he founded in 2017 where he makes organic beard, skin, and hair products.
