LAX Training with my son Luke on the TRX Rip Trainer

A couple weeks ago, I shared in my TD Times about my son Luke shooting his lacrosse ball through my neighbor’s window.  And I shared how we handled that “little” mis-fire. It was a great life-lesson. But I need to tell you a little bit more about the whole story. You see, Luke asked me […]

My son shoots a lacrosse ball through my neighbors window!

I got a call a few weeks ago at work that really upset me. It was my wife, Melanie, and she told me our oldest son, Luke, just shot his lacrosse ball through the neighbor’s bay window. “Whaaattttt???!!!!” I said. And for about 10 seconds, I could feel my blood pressure rising. And then I […]

My Fitness Journey: Amelianne Johannes

Athlete…Active… These were always words I used to define myself, until one day, before I knew it, they were not relevant anymore. To understand my fitness journey I have to start at the beginning.

Last week, I asked every attendee in my “TD Fitness Classes” to write down a question that they would like me to address in a […]

What’s going to “DIE” before you have new “LIFE”?

I celebrated Palm Sunday yesterday in mass at our local Catholic Church, St. Gregory the Great. Palm Sunday, or Passion Sunday, as it’s often referred to, brings back some very vivid memories of being a kid and having to sit through the longest mass of the year. As a kid, I used to dread this […]

Heading To The Land Down Under

I hope you are ready for the first week of April. Amazing to think that we are beginning the 2nd Quarter of the year. One of the things on my “list to do” for 2014 and in my Annual Roadmap/Strategic Plan was to do 4 or 5 international business trips this year. I want to […]

My Fitness Journey: Melanie Rogers

I think I came out of the womb dancing! I studied classical ballet my entire childhood until the age of 26. I loved ballet with a passion. Starting when I was just 12 years old, I attended various prestigious ballet programs every summer. I was honored to have been able to study at The Boston […]
