What drives me?: A desire to be a decent caring person, with a sense of humor and a balanced perspective on life.  I enjoy working on the gym floor with people who want to try to improve their quality of life.  I believe that fitness and exercise leads towards a healthy body, mind, spirit and soul.  I do get a big buzz at seeing people improving and reaching their goals.  I also have a strong view that working towards a healthy body (even in the face of impediments such as injury or illness) improves ones state of happiness and emotional well being.
