What I'm doing now...

If I've said NO to you recently it is because I'm focused on the things below. Nothing personal, I just want to continue to get stuff done. Live like no other, so you can someday live like no other.

Family

• Evenings/weekends are for spending time with my wife and four girls... if I don't seem available assume I'm busy doing something fun with them!

Health

• Current Weight | 242lbs

  Working to be an active dad for my gaggle of girls. Functional strength training, walking, cycling is on the Final Surge calendar. Goal for November, 2025 is 215lbs, because #dadbod.



• Apps | Health & Wellness

  Fitbod, Nike Training App, Final Surge, and Headspace app -- for strength workouts, HITT/Yoga workouts, training plan, and meditation, respectively.



• Nike Strength | Functional Strength Training

  At 45, it has become super important to maintain my functional strength. As a former Division I collegiate athlete, I've found my joints hurt when I'm inactive and feel their best when I'm in a committed strength training program. I've invested in a full Nike Strength gym set-up and hope to someday make this available for others to join as a gym membership -- stay tuned.
