I Was Hit By A Motorist…

I have been coming to this facility since 1990 and a member of TELOS since inception. (I’ve seen the evolution and all the positive changes).  First place for winning the Nike Cross Training Challenge was a 3-month membership to the former club which is now TELOS. I have been a passionate member ever since!

I leverage TELOS’ immaculate facilities to enhance/maintain my fitness for my role as an Instructor with the Dallas Stars and being an Ironman Triathlete.  Being older, I understand the value of a healthy/active lifestyle, including nutrition – you are what you eat.  I am a role model for my students and adults, as highlighted in this recently published article; The Phast Times News.  The comments I have received are most gratifying, i.e. “reading the article is very inspiring and you may just push me over the edge to do more than just a marathon.”  I practice what I preach.

I am at TELOS 4 – 5 times each week, primarily doing “my own thing.”  There are not many people that want to swim outside at 6am in January!  Dr. Hare has really helped and has educated me.  He has been an integral part of my program; leveraging ART and the Graston Technique.  He was instrumental in my recovery after I was hit by a motorist while on a training ride earlier this year. Also, he eliminated my Plantar Fasciitis.

Since a majority of my activities are linear, I recently incorporated Yoga into my regime.  I’ve been taking Yoga twice a week for almost 3 months (TELOS’ instructors have been awesome!).  Practicing Yoga has contributed to my strength, flexibility and overall health.

Along the way, I have made many life-long friends at TELOS, including my wife Lauren.  I love being around like-minded folks. Thank you TELOS for helping me achieve my goals.
