Receive Text UpdatesI am fueled by a passion to overcome military service-connected injuries that doctors said would severely limit my ability to participate in physical exercise - with every rep, I am able to prove them wrong. Additionally, I am fueled to "practice what I preach" as a counselor to Veterans and others who struggle with mental health and oftentimes comorbid health problems. Finally, I simply want to be "hot" for my wife and be able to out-bench my future grandchildren!
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?I enjoy lifting heavy and challenging myself with every set and every rep to become stronger. Additionally, I enjoy light cardio, such as walking uphill, with the occasional high-intensity workout mixed in.
What would you do with $20,000?I would treat my wife and children to a much-needed, overdue vacation to create memories in place of all those that I missed during military service.
