Philosophy:

As a competitive athlete I understand the extent of physical stresses the human body can endure and its ability to adapt as needed.  As a husband and a father I understand the importance of staying healthy in order to enjoy all the gifts that life has to offer.  Remember the phrase, “at least I have my health?”  When all is said and done, our health is what counts the most.

I love outdoor sports.  Mountain biking, roller blading, camping, and skiing are my favorite past times.

I workout for fun so that my fun is less of a workout.

Never forget what we are really here for.
