is feeling Excellent
is feeling patriotic
I work at DailyStrength and I'm continually inspired by the members of the site as well as my colleagues. I'm married, and we have three wonderful children ages 5, 2 and a newborn. Our son Sacha was diagnosed with autism in February '06 and this has been one of the most profound, life altering events we've experienced.
My family, great friends, running, good food (the reason why I run), travel, music and wine.

My son Sacha is 5 and was diagnosed with Autism in Winter 2006. He's a great kid - funny, well adjusted, bright, and very loving. But, like many children with ASD he has moments that I can't explain or find frustrating as a parent. In many ways, having a son with Autism has challenged me to view life differently and approach problems from a new angle. It has altered my course, helped me to balance and redefine priorities, and has made me a more compassionate person.
It's all in the genes. I'm somewhat diligent about what I eat and I exercise often, but still, my cholesterol was out of whack until I started meds.
I had a number of minor injuries in my 20s and this combined with age, stress, and outdoor running has led to a resurgence in spasms. I find it's the little things that set the spams and pain off so I'm hyper aware of everything I lift or do so as not to aggravate the injury.
I have two great kids - my daughter is turning one and my son is four and a half. Of course, raising a toddler can be challenging but I find this the most rewarding experience I've ever had
I have an 13 month old daughter. She's happy, healthy, and a true joy.
I'm a panel member for APME. In this capacity I advise CMS on better ways to provide education and outreach to beneficiaries
I grew up in a food family and have always felt that family meals were paramount to a happy life. With that, I try to keep a healthy balance in my diet - everything in moderation - and pass along good habits to my children.
As a parent of a child with ASD I'm very sensitive to the issue of vaccinations. We also have a young daughter and a child on the way so I'm very interested in immunization schedules and the debate on their safety
