2. Who was the person that inspired you as a child to eat healthy and stay fit? What was their relationship to you?
My father had a great impact on my dietary choices from a young age, and also inspired my interest in exercise and team sports.

He taught me to cook starting at the age of five, and that fresh ingredients and healthier choices could yield better tasting food. My father was also extremely supportive of most any physical activity or sport I chose to pursue.

Anytime I feel like taking a shortcut and stopping for fast food or skipping a workout, I remember what he taught me and usually make the healthier choice.

Yes, try to pass along the message through my role as a volunteer basketball and soccer coach for the youths in my community. At FwdHealth we are also in the process of starting a mentoring program.

I would tell the children of today that I’m thankful for the lessons my dad taught me. Part of what makes each one of my days so enjoyable is the healthy choices I make.
