4.  What one or two things do you currently do in your training that are keys to your success? 

      Key thing is not to start skipping workouts. I do a variety of weight lifting activities to avoid boredom. 

5.      What is your biggest challenge, and what do you do to manage this challenge?

     My biggest challenge is to find time. Especially when I travel to other clinics. I get up at 4:30 AM to make sure I get workouts done before work.

6.      Do you have a saying or motto that you live your life by?

     Work Hard. Play Hard.

9.      Anything else you’d like to share?

      Physical Fitness is one of the few things in life you can control. For many years I spent too much time working and did not make time for myself, or my health. It's important to balance your life and make physical activity part of every day.
