Home: Huntington Pointe, Lake Mary
Age: 52
Profession: Mortgage Manager for BB&T
Family: Wife, Connie (a registered nurse) and two daughters, Nicole, 22, and Kristen, 18
Spare time activities: Cycling; watching Major League Baseball (especially the Yankees and Rays) and college football (especially the Gators and Knights); swimming; polishing and cleaning the family’s fleet of four cars. “I also love weekend lunches at a variety of great Lake Mary restaurants.”
Favorite local place for exercise/wellness activity: “I enjoy all the trails. The bridges and tunnels in Seminole County make it easy to get out and ride. Road rides are fun, but drivers can sometimes get too close and are not always patient with cyclists. I have seen countless animals on the trail: deer, foxes, raccoons, snakes, rabbits, owls, hawks and eagles. I have yet to see a bear!”
Favorite local place for R&R: “Florida’s west coast beaches!”
Wellness regimen: “We try to eat healthy most meals and I enjoying cooking. Connie and I challenge each other in the kitchen! I cycle five out of seven days a week – probably more than 80 miles a week. Cooler months, you can find us at Planet Fitness in Lake Mary.”

Wellness philosophy: “Generally I like to eat well and enjoy being outdoors. This is Florida! The better I eat and the more I exercise, the more energy I have for all things in life, including work. I see a direct correlation between eating well and feeling well. It’s amazing -- when I was younger it really didn’t matter as much, but I really see the difference today.”
Favorite things about living in Seminole County: “Weather, family-oriented communities, plenty of fun things to do, day trips, beaches.”
Wellness words of wisdom: “Get out and do something fun that you enjoy. I enjoy cycling and being outdoors in Florida. I am so glad I found a fun activity I can do for the rest of my life. Also, exercise is a great stress reliever.”
