What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Continuous improvement to gain / maintain my physical and mental fitness. When serving in the military I led from the front, making sure that I was as fit as possible so that others within my unit would do the same. Inspiration was contagious and we would push and encourage each other to be stronger, faster, more resilient. This continues today; being encouraged by others and doing my part by encouraging others in the gym so they will be encouraged to continue their fitness journey.

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

I primarily use a combination of strength training coupled with cardio and regular walks in addition to the training regimen. My strength training consists of lifting 6 days a week while I perform cardio workouts 3 days a week. My strength training is performed to failure of each muscle group with the intent to increase the weights used in each muscle group. Using others to motivate and to motivate others is a primary driver to share the experience and grow together.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would look for a worthy cause supporting our veterans or underprivileged individuals that focus on helping others with their health and donate the $20,000 to them.
