The difference between Pain and Suffering..... is Attitude!!!!!!!!!

About Me

I love to work hard. I know that "if it was easy then everyone would do it". I believe that through Christ all things are possible, but that does not excuse me from doing my part. I intend to live on purpose and I will count my life a success if looking back on it I see the seeds of self reliance, integrity, and love sprouting from the trail I have left.

My Interests

Strength Sports, Bodybuilding, Kayaking, Snoeshoeing, Coaching

I'd like to meet:

I believe that every single person you meet has something they can teach you,,,, IF you can let yourself be humble enough to learn. I enjoy talking to people that have a passion for health and sports, but moreover I dearly love to be around those people that take responsibility for thier own choices and don't complain about the consequences.

Music:

I do love music, but I must admit to being rythmically challanged.

Movies:

The Princess Bride Young Frankenstien The Unforgiven

Television:

Who's line is it anyway

Heroes:

My children: I hope some day to be ...as optimistic as Chelsea ...as smart as Sydney ...as agile as Dillon ...as wise as Payton ...as compassionate as Wesley

HOLY COW!

I did my first heavy bench workout in 6 months (since IPF worlds).  I figured the weights would be heavy and I'd ease back into things.  I started a 15 week training cycle for the APF Master...
