A Passion for Fitness
I grew up in the Santa Cruz Mountains where I enjoyed a very active outdoor lifestyle and a constant involvement in various sports. As a multiple sport athlete, I loved being able to play football in the fall, wrestling in the winter, and track and field in the spring. I enjoyed a respectable amount of success in sports, most of it in wrestling. Although I do like competition, I always loved the daily training each sport demanded in order to be ready for games, matches, and meets. To this day, I still have a passion for the training it takes to be in top condition. I have gone through many “phases” of training in the past. For years I loved the gym lifestyle and what some call “recreational bodybuilding”. Later, I rediscovered my love for running and began doing half marathons and 10k’s. This eventually lead to competing in masters Track and Field.
Today health and fitness is a part of my life more than ever. I maintain a rigorous training schedule, practice proper nutrition, implement rest and recovery, and surround myself with others who enjoy an active lifestyle. My wife, Jessica, is a ballet dancer and together we enjoy living an active and healthy lifestyle. We, like all people, also like to have fun eating great food and having a drink now and then. I look forward to meeting new people from all walks of life and sharing my passion. I want everyone to experience the incredible benefits of exercise and a healthy lifestyle.”
