“Exercise is not something you do to get ready for a reunion or a wedding. Healthy eating is not to be done for a week or a month. Exercise and healthy eating should be part of your lifestyle. I believe in pushing yourself to be the best you can be. Don't sell yourself short, you are never too old, or too busy, or too whatever to begin to live a healthy lifestyle. So why not start now, not tomorrow, but now?”

Philosophy
“I believe that exercise is a big component of living a full and great life. Exercise not only helps you feel better throughout the day, it also brings a sense of ownership in your life. I have been involved in some type of fitness activity for most of my life. There was a time when I could not do any of those things and that definitely brought about a feeling of helplessness. I worked hard and long to get back to doing the things I loved. I try to encourage others that no matter what obstacles you face they can be overcome with perseverance and hard work.”
