My favorite past-time in recent years was spending time in nature with my two Golden Retrievers. Unfortunately they both passed away within the last few years due to cancer and senior related health issues. In the past, I've also had a German Shepherd as well as a Bernese Mountain Dog, many (stray) cats and a pet turtle growing up.

I made the decision to live a meat and dairy-free diet for the past 4 years and continue to expand my education, outreach and passion for the welfare of animals.

I've been a fitness and nutrition enthusiast for most of my adult life. I've completed and placed in fitness competitions and continue to learn and expand my knowledge of functional fitness, weight-training and most recently the importance of a balanced fitness regime to include the benefits of aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
