So a little about myself…I am a married father of two wonderful children and two crazy Wiemaraner dogs.  I am trying to be as active as possible and stay outside as much as I can physically can.  That usually entails running, golf, bicycling (road), swimming, skiing, rock climbing, snorkeling/scuba diving and any other reason to get active. I am hoping to keep the main focus of this blog on my training and lifestyle changes while attempting to compete in various running and triathlon races.

My professional background is unique. I have worked in many different trades and owned/started a few companies; Information Technologies, Computer Aided Drafting Outsourcing, Construction Takeoffs, Real Estate Brokerage,  and Business Marketing.  So now I am a Certified Personal Trainer. Quite a leap from my past ventures but I really think this is what I want to be when I grow up. At 41 years old I don’t have a lot of time left to figure that out.  It really is what I am enjoy doing the most.

I also try to stay active in my community by participating in different community organizations.  I am an active member of the Crystal Lake Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce) and I am also a member of the board of Operation Click.  Not to mention I try to help out with my son’s Cub Scout Pack as much as possible.
