Soccer, Weight Lifting, Music, Outdoors, Running

I have always been very athletic and motivated. I have played soccer and ran for 20 years. I have lifted weights and played music for the past 10 years. My favorite thing in life is being active and my mission is to use the knowledge and joy I have for staying fit to improve the lives of others.
