What have you accomplished in your life that you're most proud of? -I'm most proud of my son and daughter at this point. They are 6 and 8 and they are so generous, kind and smart. I love how curious they are. How did you feel before you found TrAk? -Before TrAk, I went to the gym almost every day after I took my kids to school and thought of it as part of my “job” since I don’t work outside the home. Now, I hate missing a Monday-Friday workout! I have grown to enjoy each day of the week (I’m still working on enjoying Wednesday, but I do go). I look forward to going to the gym, even at 5am. Best Place to travel that you’ve ever been? ....

What have you accomplished in your life that you're most proud of? -There isn't really a specific moment. For me its the bazillion life "things" that happen like having a house to call home, a decent job that I enjoy and a great friend that is my wife. If you could take 3 months off and do whatever you wanted, what did that time look like? -Wow, hmm, 3 months off? I honestly don't think I could do it. I would go insane...but if i had to...most of the time would be spent at home....or my mom's house. Don't get me wrong, I love a great vacation but anything more than 7-10 days and I would get home sick. How did you feel before ....
