Why I got started in the fitness world:
The story of my introduction into the health, fitness, recreation, and wellness industries parallels that of my life’s progression. Indeed, I have been active in physical activity- in one form or another- since birth. Whether playing competitive sports through my adolescence and into adulthood; becoming a certified and active SCUBA diver; volunteering in adaptive physical education programs for handicapped and developmentally disabled children; or serving as a volunteer strength and conditioning coach at Chelan High School; my life history is that of health, and fitness, adventure and exploration.
Why I am still involved in the fitness industry:
My passion for health and fitness is stronger now than at any point in my life. I have made it a personal goal of mine to affect positive change in all individuals and organizations that I should have the opportunity to become involved with. We have reached a critical point as a nation. The health and well-being of our populations is at a historical low. Over 60% of our nation’s population is overweight or obese. Health care costs have become so burdensome to families that care is often neglected, postponed, or all together not sought. When over 70% of health care costs/hospital visit fees are related to PREVENTABLE LIFESTYLE factors, I think that we as a nation, as a community, and as responsible, informed individuals can do much better!
Other hobbies:
LIVING LIFE…Laughing…I love movies and reading- although I only read non-fiction… Building and strengthening communities, galvanizing shared principles and ethos, and developing and nurturing a national consensus and precedent, with the overwhelming desire to lead and empower the myriad of disillusioned, disenfranchised, and dissatisfied political constituents- across all lines- towards a utopic American society. By establishing myself as the first legitimate 3rd party candidate (Objective Pragmatism), I will bring true, lasting change to a broken, corrupt, inept, and woefully outdated American politics…I also enjoy playing with my pet liger-which I bred for its skills and magic.
Favorite quotes:

“Conquering others makes you strong, conquering yourself makes you fearless.”
“Never be entirely satisfied with past accomplishments, constantly seek out new challenges and opportunities.”
“Life favors the bold, history favors the daring.” |
