    About Me

    Married 21 years, 3 teenage sons. Suburbia, large automobile, beautiful house, beautiful wife. ("My god, what have I done") Originally found DS a place to discuss my ADD as I do not disclose that in public. DS friends motivated me to lose weight and kick up my routine to a higher level. I love you all for that. TYVM

    Interests

    I love to workout, backpack, take photographs and see people smile when I share them. If I didn't need money, I would be a personal trainer, leadership trainer, or motivational speaker. Dang, well someday.
