I am not drowning in sorrow because I am now 46 and halfway to 92 but rather energized to help add value and significance to others who are looking to be great!<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest reasons and my &#8220;WHY&#8221; for wanting to get in the best shape of my life is because at the young age of 67 my father died of a massive heart attack. Being in the health and fitness industry I felt guilty I couldn&#8217;t do anything to change his habits and his lifestyle. But more than that \u00a0he never got to meet his granddaughters, which bothers me to this day. So, I have made it my goal, God willing, to make sure I am fit and in shape when and if my daughters have children so I can be there to see them!<\/p>\n<p>For the past 2 decades I have been helping people of all ages get fit but this site is reflective of my personal endeavors and projects I want to pursue. My hope is to help inspire and educate others to not settle for average and to change their life for the better.<\/p>\n<p>If you got to know more, read on.

I know my kids make fun of me \ud83d\ude41<\/li>\n<li>I absolutely love sports. I feel it has molded me into who I am!<\/li>\n<li>I have a man crush on Tim Tebow!<\/li>\n<li>I did a 6 hour &#8220;skin ski trip&#8221; in CO and although I may be being overdramatic I thought I was going to die at the top of the mountain when I finished!<\/li>\n<li>I wanted to be a Navy Seal then realized I was not tough enough and mentally strong to make it through!<\/li>\n<li>If I could do anything I would be a High School Varsity Football Coach.<\/li>\n<li>I try to sing but am really horrible at.<\/li>\n<li>As a kid I was a melting pot.
