Q: What is your athletic background?

A: Sports and fitness have always been a part of my life. I grew up with a very active family so we were always encouraged to be involved in something. As an adult I took up running and found it to be a wonderful release and fundamental to my overall health and fitness.


Q: What is your typical weekly fitness routine?

A: I'm an extremely high energy person. There is rarely a day when I don't do something active. Three to four times a week I'm in the gym focusing mostly on a hard cardio workout, running 30 minutes, and pushing myself to a four mile run. After cardio, I core train using a fitball and free weights. I rarely stop moving! If I'm not in the gym, I'm outside running or walking.

Q: What motivates you to be consistent with your exercise routine?

A: I am 41 years old and have a 16 month old son - that motivates me the most! I also recognized that working out is the one time I get to truly focus on myself, and not have any interruptions. I live for that energy boost and it keeps my mind sharp.

Q: What role does your family play in your health regimen?
