Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Ever since I competed in sports as a child, that passion has never left me even at 66 years old. I always strive to be the best, I strive to win every time, yet accept when I do not. I then look toward what improvement I can make to show up as a improved version of myself in my next race. Also what fuels my passion is to be a role model to others my age and younger. Be the example others want to be. Teach others by making small changes and following through, that anything is possible!!

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

My favorite way to train is a multi faceted approach 1) run 4 to 5 days a week to include speed work once or twice a week. To include a long run as well along with some ez runs 2) Strength Train in the gym 4 times a week with heavy weight and low reps breaking upper and lower body on different days. I focus on a lot of single leg exercises since running is one foot strike at a time 3) Focus on some cross training such as Arc Trainer or Bike once or twice a week 4) Focus on Plyometrics too

What would you do with $20,000?

First off I would start with donating 10% to charity. The gift of giving back is so important. Then I would probably use some of the winnings go on a crusie with my wife. The balance of the winnings would go into my retirement investment portfolio
