Christian E. Markey III serves as a family law attorney in his own firm and is Of Counsel at Hersh Mannis LLP in Beverly Hills, California. In his free time, Christian E. Markey III enjoys windsurfing and other outdoor sports. As a challenging water sport, windsurfing requires constant attention to one's environment, gear, and health. The first factor that all windsurfers must consider is if the weather is cooperative. Windsurfers should always check the forecast to be sure there are no sudden storms or offshore winds coming that might keep the surfer from returning safely to shore, and windsurfing is never a night activity, no matter how well-lit the shoreline. If it's your first time sailing at a new location, always ask a local about any specific problems that are unique to that area, e.g., when sailing at Fort Point (San Francisco) always get back to shore before the ebb tide starts taking you out under the Golden Gate Bridge and to the shark-infested Farallon Islands. A windsurfer's next step is to ensure that he or she is wearing a floatation device and/or helmet, and knows how long it would take emergency services to arrive in the event of an injury. Windsurfers should avoid going out anywhere that it would take rescuers a long time to arrive, just as it is unwise to surf where the waves and currents would be likely to take a surfer far away from his or her last known location. The windsurfer should be confident that someone on shore knows his or her intended location and time of return, though windsurfing with at least one buddy is of the utmost importance. Lastly, all windsurfers on an outing should check their equipment before venturing out, so as to avoid using worn or damaged gear that might fail on the water.

Christian E. Markey III, is an experienced Southern California attorney who offers efficient and effective representation in diverse family law matters, from marriage dissolution to property division. Nationally ranked as a triathlete from 1996 to 2002, Christian E. Markey III, has taken part in more than 15 marathons and 100 triathlons over the years. Since its humble beginnings as a “for the glory” competition with a dozen participants in the 1970s, triathlon has grown by leaps and bounds in popularity. Now one of the major endurance events in the Summer Olympics, the event made its debut at the Sydney Opera House in 2000. Highly anticipated, it drew an estimated half a million spectators. As currently configured, the Olympic triathlon has space for 55 participants in women’s and men’s events. With eligibility decided by qualifying race schedules, eight countries can enter three of their top triathletes in each event, while the remaining countries can only enter two. The Olympic course begins with a 1,500-meter swim followed by a 40-kilometer cycling course and a 10,000-meter run. One unique aspect of the Olympic race is the implementation of strict technical rules that can lead to disqualification of severe penalties for seemingly minor infractions. For example, the helmet must be put on prior to first mounting the bicycle. Before exiting the transition zone, moreover, competitors must be fully mounted on their bike and pedaling.

Markey III supports several charitable organizations, including the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) Since its founding in 1997, CAF has sought to recognize the inherent athletic greatness of individuals with physical disabilities. In pursuit of this goal, CAF raises funds through such events as the 2016 Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC). Set to occur on October 23, 2016, in La Jolla Cove, California, SDTC consists of a mile-long ocean swim, a 44-mile bike ride, and a 10-mile run. Participants can either register as individuals or as relay teams. Christian competed in several SDTCs and agrees that it is the most inspiring day in triathlon. Christian's fondest memories of numerous SDTCs include helping quadruple amputee Melanie Benn get ready for the swim portion of the SDTC and riding alongside and talking with Robin Williams as they rode down Pacific Coast Highway for miles and miles. While the triathlon poses a serious challenge to the toughest of athletes, it is not meant to be a race or a competition. Proceeds from the triathlon registration fees will go to CAF to impact the lives of athletes who have physical disabilities.
