Fit at Forty - Matt Barber

I am here for Networking

About Me

I have a BS in Kinesiology and am a CSCS certified trainer.
About ME? Well, I'm not too good at talking about myself for the most part. So here's a synopsis of me from a good friend. It's relatively accurate in my opinion:"I love life and find it pretty simple to navigate most days. I'm not saying that stuff hasn't happened in my life, but i can usually find a way to deal with it all. I take great care of myself...physically, emotionally, and financially. I enjoy shopping (part of my work gig too) and spend a great deal of time in Chicago when I can - love it!I enjoy the work that I do - two jobs really...I don't let it rule my life and I have plenty of play time to enjoy! I work out enough to keep in really good shape. I care about how I look, but only to the point where it doesn't require me to have anything removed, implanted or otherwise altered!!!Music is really important to me and as I tell a friend of mine, I don't listen to anything "modern" - yep...it's the good old stuff that makes me move. I ride a bike and I ride a bike - ha! I am pretty adventurous and like to try new things and meet new people.Well that's about it on me - stay tuned for more over time..."
