I come from a very fitness-oriented family, and grew up with good examples all my life. Unfortunately, after getting married, I quit working out regularly for about two years. I went back to school for my master's degree, moved across the country for a job, and became a father all in a year's time. In the mean time, I was only working out sporadically, eating unhealthy, and just not focussing enough on my health. After getting together with family for the holidays, I noticed how much different I looked in pictures and knew it was time to make a change. I'm hoping to win a fitness challenge on May 9th between my brother and future brother-in-law!

I love how it feels when I'm making progress and sticking to my goals. There's nothing better than the feeling you get right after a good work out!
